I am thrilled to share that I achieved a new milestone of adding 10,000+ approved Roads to Google Maps on 26th May 2024. It was truly a dream come true. One fine day, I noticed a post on TRAC by @SholaIB and joined as a team member in the initiative. I had the opportunity to meet prominent members like @MarcoDavoli , @Lukas_1 , and @JustJake , who motivated and supported me a lot. I can surely say that without the TRAC support, I couldn’t have done this. I thank SholaIB for the initiative and for adopting me as a co-host for two meet-ups. I am greatly thankful to Connect Moderators @ErmesT , @JanVanHaver , and @MortenCopenhagen , fort sharing the great posts on Connect, which helped in improving my mapping skills and motivated me.Top 100 System by @AdamGT helped me to analyse my past performance and helped me to improve upon. Thank you Shola and Marco for awarding me the VIRTUOSO badge on achieving 10,000 Roads.
Best Regards,
Some of the helpful posts on connect for beginners;
10k is an impressive achievement, a number that I was considering impossible for everyone to achieve just a couple of years ago.
It shows a real passion on adding roads, especially because Roaders are normally not mentioned. The people who drives though a road added by us has probably no idea that that road wasn’t in Maps before. A person finally reached by a delivery service will be happy, and he will think “well, finally Maps added my street”.
But we know the tireless effort needed, and we are literally changing the world.
This is such an amazing accomplishment, @PrasadVR . You are a Virtuoso of Roads, and in this TRAC session, you’ve really dialed up the heat! Way to go, man. Congratulations & thank you for your dedication to helping so many people who use Maps.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I remember how you motivated me when I was down and lagging. Hard to do this mapping without motivation from friends like you.
