Nowadays, most people will look in Google Map for places to go for trip on holidays, places to hang out with some friends or even places to have a small dip.
One of the reasons why the place was being chosen is what people might saw at Google Map, and one of them are photos. It could be photos of great view, challenging rides or game, and maybe photos that showing a delicious food.
Just like me and some friends. In 2018 and 2019, we had trip together, we used Google Map to make good, fun and efficient (in time especially) trip itinerary.

Besides looking the best and fastest way to go to the places, we will also look for the places with unique stuffs, great view or places with special atmosphere or foods. And photos which are shown in Google Map that helped us to decide which places to go.
Therefore, adding photos in Google Map is the most interesting thing I’ve done as a Local Guide.
I love to adding photos and make reviews as well of the facilities that a place might have. It can be the high chair, steps, entrance for wheelchairs/disability, praying area (mostly for those who are Moslems), security area, the parking area, and even the clean rest room.
People will concern of what they expected to get or see when they come to places that they saw in photos and can make decision to come and explore the place or only to stop by and use the facilities.

Adding photos also make people able to see the ambience of the place. To see if it’s meet their expectation or their interest.

I love being a #LocalGuide and being able to help people.
