My first motivation to contribute to Google Maps is to show my city to the world. I live in a small city and I love to add photos and information about small businesses in my city, like regional restaurants, snack bars, clothes stores, and cultural places. I think it is so important to share this kind of information because people can find how my city can be enjoyable. My city is a lovely place.
The second motivation has an educational purpose: I am a teacher and I am planning some activities for my students that use Google Maps. I am interested to find a way how to do this, how to motivate my students to learn about Culture, Languages, Geography, using Google Maps.
Finally, I love to share photos of my travels, and I love to review every place I visit. It is like a diary where I can write about my point of view about the world, my experiences, my cultural learning, and growth. When I write a review about a place, I am sharing a part of my life experience to help others to learn about a special place, help others to make decisions and help others to take a new way of seeing the world.
