Hello fellow Local Guides,
I just received a very special email that has me reflecting on an incredible journey. I am officially celebrating **10 years of contributing on Google Maps!
**
When I started a decade ago, I just wanted to help people find great local spots. Looking at my stats today, it’s hard to believe how far that passion has gone:
-
Total Contribution Views: 30 Million
-
Photo Views: Over 21.2 Million
-
Total Contributions: 5,900
-
Photo Reactions: 1,489
It is so rewarding to know that “every bit of knowledge shared has made Google Maps grow into an even bigger, more helpful place.” Seeing my views grow by +110.5k just recently shows how much people rely on the photos and information we provide every single day.
A huge thank you to this community for the inspiration over the last 10 years. Here’s to many more years of exploring and sharing!
How long have you been a Local Guide? I’d love to hear about your journey in the comments!
