Dear Roaders,

Today was not just another virtual meet-up.
Today was a moment to pause… look back… and celebrate what we are building together.

Because behind every number, every chart, every road added there is time, patience, and passion.

Some of you have just started like Andi Brata (Indonesia), Bere Marichi (Mexico), Kyescentia (Malaysia), Stephen (Belgium), and Sumaiyazafrin (Malaysia) who received their very first road approval!

Some of you are growing fast Eh?!?, Sarath Upendran… will you share your secrets with us?

Some of you are reaching incredible milestones like Ermes, Lukas, and Sarath, who decided to join Marco so he doesn’t feel alone anymore.

But all of you share the same spirit:
making the map better, one road at a time

Today we celebrate YOU

• those who reached new levels
• those who never gave up despite slow approvals
• those who keep contributing every single day
• those who inspire others just by showing up

Before celebrating, let’s remember something important:

TRAC has never been a competition.
It is a journey, a really long one.
Sometimes frustrating.
Often invisible.
But incredibly meaningful.

PROUD LEVEL, Welcome to the journey

Reaching 25 approved roads means becoming a PROUD member.
Today, we are happy to announce 4 new PROUD Roaders:

:clap: Akpoka
:clap: SarahKa
:clap: Natasciuto
:clap: AjitThite

To all of you who survived the initial difficulties we wish a bright and exciting future as Roaders.

NOVICE LEVEL, First big milestone

And then… there are those who, day after day, keep pushing forward.
Reaching 1000 approved roads means entering the next level: NOVICE.

Let’s celebrate:

:clap: ALG87 — 1,020 roads
:clap: Manishhh — 1,441 roads
:clap: Dahboss — 1,579 roads

Determination is their signature.
Approved roads are their invisible mark on Google Maps.

SAVANT LEVEL — True dedication

And then… there are those who redefine determination.
Isn’t that right, GolamAgam?

Not satisfied with what was already achieved, you kept going… and going… and going.

Today you celebrate:
5,552 approved roads

Earning the SAVANT non-official BADGE for surpassing 5,000 roads.

The world will never know your name.
But your silent work has already helped thousands of people find their way.
And for that… we all thank you.

so, dear Roaders, a standing ovation for all of them and for all of us.
Because in just 23 days we have added 34,250 new roads to Google Maps.

What a beautiful day.
Thank you all, my dear Roaders.
Thank you, my friends.

…and remember the shared folder where you can find all data about TRAC2026 as well as your NON OFFICIAL BADGE
(and if you need to modify the name on it please PM me.

FOLDER UPDATED WITH non official BADGES

Take care and enjoy TRAC26

Thank you Marco

Receiving a badge for my contribution is a proud moment, but honestly, the real reward is seeing those brown & grey spaces on the map turn into green lines that people can actually use to find their way home, to work, or to a new adventure.

Events like this remind us that while we might be sitting behind screens in different parts of the world, we are part of one massive, synchronized team.

Thank you to @SholaIB for this initiative and your motivation and to my fellow roaders that got our first big milestone My message to you all—especially those just starting out—is this: Don’t get overwhelmed by the scale of the world. Focus on the impact of the local. Whether you are part of Team Singapore|Mexico|Dublin or trachers, your precision creates a ripple effect of reliability that millions of people depend on without even knowing your name.

Let’s keep pushing, keep mapping and keep making the world a little more connected, one road at a time.

Thank you all, and let’s get back to the map

Hey Erna,
you should NOT be embarrassed! You still have two months and few days to add some roads.
We love the spirit of the team and I’m sure soon I’ll see you figures growing.

Ciao

Congratulations @GolamAgam. Well done on the big 5000. Sometimes I feel there should be a halfway point badge for 2500 @MarcoDavoli, but nevertheless I persevere, hoping to reach SAVANT sometime.
