As Google could not reach virtually every place on the globe, so it introduced a way for users to contribute to the maps themselves. The result was an astounding success as users from all over the world contributed to their local maps.
VP Google Maps, Brian McClendon declared in a press conference held earlier this week that Faisalabad is the city which has been mapped in more detail than any other American City. The fact is mentioned in this video @ 10:14

Nice spin on the story! He did not DECLARE anything such! He was pointing out that Google Map Maker enables countries without digital maps to be extensively mapped and hence accessible.
There never was or IS a competition! And the US maps contain a lot more information than our existing maps of Pakistan, so i doubt we are beating them anytime soon!
Though as a major contributor to these maps myself, I was pleasantly surprised at this mention and this goes to show the excellent work that Pakistani mappers continue to do on Map Maker!
Nice dear, thanks for this great Information for the Pakistani’s.:)
hmmmm
