yes TRAC again . There is no avoiding us on connect or on Google maps. We are determined to make a road way into every nook and cranny possible. Creating roads editing roads deleting roads is our priority for these 6 months. It’s just exactly 4 months ago and we gave 35k roads drawn approved adde to Google maps. This is the most interesting and inspiring challenge of the decade on connect and Google maps. Although,we must admit that we had encountered various challenges ranging from suspended participants as a result of hardwork and dedication,low approval rates,inactive members of the team and the list goes on. Yet we are standing proud and tall to say we are just 15k away from our Target of 50,000 thousand roads . Despite these challenges,we are quite confident that we will achieve the stated target in the next 2 months. We have just 2 months more to go. Please make sure to be part of this great exciting and success story on connect and on Google maps.

How can I join is the question???

Simple and straightforward please

  • Kindly fill out this :point_right:t3: Form
  • We also kindly request for a screenshot of your profile photo showing the number of roads you have before participating in TRAC
  • Username on connect to be able to access the Google maps profile and to follow your progress as we go along and perhaps tag you on our posts on connect as well.
  • Geographical location
  • There is a link to our telegram group on the form. Feel free to join or not. It’s optional. Nevertheless it’s very interesting interacting closely outside connect.
  • Meet-up and group discussions are a possibility for instructions and motivations
  • We will plan to publish top 10 highest contributors at the end of the event in September all being well.

Now we are about 80 local guides participating on TRAC Campaign. Some little group are perhaps busy and not active we understand these situations. Life and health and personal activities are far more important than being a local guide and participating on connect. Nevertheless, we urge anyone planning to join to kindly plan to be active and work with the rest of the team. Even participants with one road is highly valued and appreciated. We have very vibrant and professional local guides on our telegram group. The interactions there is so exciting and good. Therefore we can learn and also teach as a team.

This last chart is a new invention of Marco maybe he will tell us more about it in his reply. Its quite interesting to see anyway. We appreciate his efforts.

Please Note: This is not a competition it’s a simple campaign. It is aimed at creating awareness on drawing roads. It’s also aimed at improving the maps worldwide. There are no gift or medals at the end of the campaign.it’s a voluntary activity like all local guides activities.

Now at this stage I will not bother to tag the 1st ten runners up. May I kindly tag

Please kindly tag other fellow TRACians Lol. As necessary. We can’t tag everyone in the main post. We gave a constraint of 10 tags per post.

Disclaimer This campaign or post about adding roads, is unofficial and it’s my personal initiative to help improve the maps. Note that any information collected will not be used for any other official purpose outside connect forum.

Look forward to active participation and interactions over this. All questions are highly welcome and we are open to improving and editing this campaign for good.

Please note that we have reached our target and the campaign is closed for 2023. (12th Sept 2023)

Happy mapping

Thanks @SholaIB , for the mention. I tried to connect to the gram but it gave me an error. Are there certain areas of world we are adding roads to that need it more than others? I’ve been adding to Road mapper and only recently started adding roads to maps. I’m coming in later for the TRAC program so inputs or feedback or even links to post for documentation would be greatly appreciated. I love mapping and I’m even taking some GIS courses online recently. Thank you!

Hello dear friend @AnubhaBangia ,

Happy to read that you enjoyed the post of our @SholaIB .

I believe that “Adding Roads” are more important than adding Reviews because, the roads you add remain for centuries whereas the reviews will be outdated within a few months.

Join hands with us… We are ready to help all…

:handshake: :heart: :pray: :rose: :+1:
