I started contributing on Google Earth in 2008, then it was difficult to get photos and locate the place as GPS was not this advanced. Now its easy, every phone photo got its location metadata within itself.
Started with an intention to show the world with my photographs on Google Earth. Slowly the technology changed, everyone is dependent on Google maps to find anything in the world. Most of the mobile devices are Google’s Android. There are times when I get very little info about the place I am looking for, so I thought of sharing my drop to make the sea.
Feel proud to be a contributor when google sends me the analytics of the data I have shared. Thank you Google for making this free public platform for the world. My interest of sharing is mostly the nature. Hopefully, this will give an impact on people to make this world green, and work towards it, for the coming generations.
