　　DJ Google Maps North Korea
        　　The new Google Maps version of North Korea also has far less information than files available through other private efforts using a different Google product, a satellite image program, Google Earth, which must be downloaded separately.
        　　新的朝鲜部分的谷歌地图上的信息量也远远不及其他的私人行动利用谷歌地球(Google Earth)所发布的数据量。谷歌地球是谷歌的另一款卫星成像产品，需要用户另行下载。
        　　Curtis Melvin, who has spent years leading a crowdsourcing effort to map North Korea using Google Earth, said he was surprised to learn of the separate work for Google Maps. 'It's not even a fraction of what I've already published,' he said. Mr. Melvin's work, for example, shows the outlines of what his collaborators have said are several more prison camps than are visible on the Google Maps version.
        　　梅尔文(Curtis Melvin)多年以来一直领导着利用谷歌地球测绘朝鲜地图的crowdsourcing工作。他说，在得知谷歌地图单独开展了相关工作时他感到非常意外。他说，谷歌地图上的信息还赶不上我已经发布过的信息的零头。例如，据梅尔文伙伴说，他发布的信息显示了几座劳改营的轮廓，是谷歌地图上所没有的。
        　　Mr. Melvin, who publishes a website called North Korean Economy Watch, recently collaborated with 38 North, a North Korea website operated by the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, on a digital atlas of North Korea. He has relied on information provided by people who have visited the country or former citizens who defected from it.
        　　梅尔文运营着一个叫做“朝鲜经济观察”(North Korean Economy Watch)的网站。最近，梅尔文与38North合作开发了朝鲜的数字地图。38 North是美国约翰霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)高级国际研究学院(School of Advanced International Studies)运营的一个关于朝鲜的网站。梅尔文依靠访问过朝鲜的人以及脱北者提供的信息。
        　　Jayanth Mysore, a Google senior product manager, wrote in a blog post that the North Korea map is 'not perfect' and added Google encourages people 'to continue helping us improve the quality of these maps.'
        　　谷歌的高级产品经理迈索尔(Jayanth Mysore)在一篇博客中写道，朝鲜的地图不完善，他补充说，谷歌鼓励人们继续帮助我们完善这些地图的质量。
        　　Hwang Min-woo, a 28-year-old South Korean who contributed to the North Korea map, said he began working on it after trying to use Google Maps on a trip to Laos four years ago and finding it inadequate.
        　　参与制作朝鲜地图的28岁的韩国人Hwang Min-woo说，四年前他访问老挝时曾尝试使用谷歌地图，他发现地图并不完整，此后开始致力于完善谷歌地图。
