SVG Maps are the easiest thing in the world to edit! If you don't already have a map to work with, search Commons for SVG maps of the world. If you have a map (I've been duplicating files for the ones I've made), you can open this file in a text editor and just customize the color you want in the /* Country codes */ section section inside the "fill:" tag. Before that, add country codes for the availability. There are also a fair number of options before that you can experiment with. Have fun! -- Akhenaten0 ( talk) 17:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Now, everything you see between /* and */ is a comment: either a label (like "Country Codes" at the end), or "commented out" (the additional style rules right above the country codes). The key is basically this:
opacity : 1;
means that it doesn't show up; the other option is 1.The next most important things you'll need to know are the country codes and the colors. Country Codes follow ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 I've mentioned above: .us for United States, .no for Norway, but also things like .gb for the United Kingdom, .za for South Africa, and .ch for Switzerland. Pay close attention, or else you'll be highlighting Sierra Leone (.sl) when you mean to highlight Slovenia (.si) or Slovakia (.sk). This is where the real trick of this particular SVG comes from: just put in the codes for the countries you want, and they'll be highlighted. In the Amazon Music one, I've put in .us, .gb, .de, .fr, .at, .ch, .jp, .it, .es, .nl
, for the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. The precise landmasses represented by those codes are specified very carefully in the bottom of the file: everything after the </style>
tag.
For the colors, they're in hexadecimal: 00 to FF (the numbers go 0123456789ABCDF, in two digits, for 256 options per pair). Hex colors are in RGB format, so #FF0000 is super-red, #00FF00 is super-green, and ##0000FF is super-blue. I use a color-picker to pick the exact shade of orange or red or blue from a company logo to use for these maps.
I often give exhaustive explanations; I don't know where people are at, so I'd rather give too much than not enough. Does this help? -- Akhenaten0 ( talk) 20:23, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
But that's what I did. I re-ordered it. It is a more logical order. It is something that does not require elaboration. ViperSnake151 Talk 14:47, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi there, LocalNet. I was trying to update the preview releases as it doesn't seem to be updated with the template. Hayman30 ( talk) 08:30, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi LocalNet, I am a Google employee and reaching out to seek some guidance on Google Cloud Platform wikipedia page. I suggested some updated and neutral content (to the best of my knowledge) under the "Talk" section on the page by disclosing Conflict of Interest. The changes were rejected because of conflict of interest recently. I wanted to reach out and seek your help, by reviewing the content or by suggesting some next steps that I can take to have the content updated. I really appreciate any guidance on this and happy to provide any additional details. Thanks Sudhir Sharma, Google Cloud Platform Sudhirsharma26 ( talk) 22:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi @ LocalNet:, thanks for taking the time to review our content. I appreciate your feedback and will work internally on updating content. Just a quick question- do you think it's ok to edit the content with new one on talk section or is there a different approach that I should take? Example- saving in sandbox first and seeking review from you again, before I make changes on the talk section? Thanks again, I really appreciate your guidance here.

Hi You are for the title called as iPad (2017). Why do not you vote in the dedicated section? It would then be easier to do the counting. -- Panam2014 ( talk) 20:43, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
So yes, I probably need a good source. The problem is, it is extremely hard to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cakFJ0HS_4g or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqFlzhQBFoA is proof, but I can't do that. Previously that was not possible. That is... all I can really say. Brmbrmcar ( talk) 20:29, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
