Google Maps tips & tricks
1

People travelling may sometimes not know where to start looking for advice/ideas. Guides who have experienced certain countries extensively as a traveler (and perhaps as a local) may be able and willing to assist travelers with real life/real time ideas i.e. where to go, how to save money, tips, and solutions to any problems they may face

Nice to hear from you Mr George I know and appreciate it Google already playing a important role in human life as well as tourists But with a Google certified Local guide people can get actually and authentic information about the specific area For example tourists think that Pakistan is not a safe place to visit but the reality is different only some areas are not safe So a Google certified Local guide can tell them what happing there

Hi and thanks for your reply,

Understanding that google has a level system of rating guides, is There any possibility of local guides having a 5 star rating or even badge system applied so that travellers can see who provides the most accurate/applicable advice?
