We have been able to motivate others on our team and other teams Thank you to all our numerous team leaders and team motivators who helped other fellow team members. Before we continue on this post it is important to state that we have officially closed our 2025 TRAC event. It was stated for 1st March-31st May 2025. Although we are still adding roads in the background and still together as a team,we are on holidays. The idea of three teams worked very well together. Special thanks to the 3 team leaders.

On this occasion we will like to formally say congratulations to the Seekers team for topping the chart !!! @PrasadVR thank you for your role as a good motivational leader. It has been very good to work with you. Your willingness and readiness always is exceptional. See you at the meet-up where we will celebrate you and your hardworking team more.

Next on the role is The Masters team !!! your performance was great @MarcoDavoli . I know how energetic you are on adding roads. For now you stand to have the highest number of roads on the planet among local guides. Well-done my gentle man. You are the 2nd Co-host we have had,I don’t think the next one will be able to measure up to your standard. Kudos to you and congratulations again.

Now for the third position We have the Runners Team. Congrats to you all we did try our best didn’t we? Meanwhile we have to blame the captain for this and a few other factors. Anyway kudos to you all. We had fun together and we learnt alot how to do better at adding roads. Hopefully next season will be better.

In the various post of the Seekers and Masters and Runners,we highlighted the top 5 local guides on the team. On this general post for TRACians we would share a graph of the top 10 local guides during the events. Congratulations to you all. We are proud of you and appreciate your tireless efforts trying to improve Google maps and even be a role model for TRAC.

Ohh captain @SholaIB what i say !

Today I am very proud to be part of a large and dedicated team of roaders and Captain @SholaIB 's initiative of TRAC campaign for Google Maps. Our team is much bigger than just a few local Guide who make Google Maps the best and most accurate and useful, whether it’s @JustJake 's thousands of edits or the @Designer_Biswajit 's corrections to map names.Our passion is to make roads accessible and better for everyone, whether it’s adding new roads, fixing a wrong one or updating the latest changes to Maps. Our collective efforts help millions of people navigate and discover new places every day.
Our strength is in our diversity, where every roader contributes their best with their unique knowledge and skills. And when we all work together, our capabilities are limitless!
Thanks Team Buddy :sign_of_the_horns:
Once again thank you very much
Captain @SholaIB :folded_hands:.

First I will like to comment on the arrangement of this post, the artistry is amazing, the photos and last but most importantly the voiceover video. Well done to all TRAC team members who put in efforts to make this look good.

Captain @SholaIB @MarcoDavoli and @PrasadVR you all did amazing with your subgroup thank you.

It’s unfortunate that I had little participation this term due to personal engagements but I follow conversations and I know everyone had a good time learning and mapping.

Looking forward to the next one.
