As a landlord and property investor, I first started contributing to Google Maps as a way of adding value to the properties that I own in that area. I took photos and added places nearby of shops, facilities and other places so that prospective tenants can have a feel for the are and local commiunity. It really helps them to know where are the nearest medical clinics, dental surgery, laindry, supermarkets, convenience stores, football field, community hall and other local facilities. Over time, I spread to other sreas, not just where I own properties but also of places where I travel. I especially like posting about “hidden gems” that would be an interesting experience for travellers but many people don’t know about. Some can be trivial like foofpaths, pedestrian bridges and shortcuts but others are like where to eat ot drink local delicacies like rojak, c3ndol, noodle, fresh fruit juices and smoothies and the like. Its been a very fulfilling experience for me to know that can others can benefit and have a good and interesting time.
