Back in 2012, when there was no gps cab service available in my nearest metro city, it was very difficult to reach places for me as I was from a small village. But back then map was there to help. It knew almost every address I ever wanted to go with the fasted root available. Some times I use be the root planer in meter taxi. Never had to ask any one or be late at my venue ever since using google maps.
Once I was heading for an interview and started early as the venue was a bit far according to maps. But due to some train issue I had to get out at a unknown station and no one knew how to get to my interview venue. Even the taxi drivers were helpless. Then one driver agreed but in one condition, if the map is wrong it is not his responsibility. He did not trust maps. But I did. And to his surprise, by my direction using maps we arrived at venue on time. He was so surprised that he asked me to teach him how to use maps.
But I always wondered how does google know about these places. Then I discovered local guide, and to my surprise it was some one like me who look the trouble and listed the place so that no one have to trouble finding it ever again. I also joined the local guide group as a thank you gesture to maps and to help others find place and reach in time.
