Hello, Local Guide Family,

Whenever I visited a new place, I clicked photos like this and post my experience and review in Google Maps. For the last 5 years, I have learned a lot of things, now I avoid photos like this because personal photos do not feature in Map.
Well, I love photography many of the photos featured in Google maps, since 2015 whenever I Got time, weekly I started uploading photos and reviews of visited places, unfortunately, a lot of my photos same as above, so I did not post, limited photos of places where no one in front and background featured in the map that’s why it took me 6 years to complete Level 10.
Most of the contributions are Education institutions, Picknick Spots, Temples, Restaurant, and Hotel in Solapur Pune and Mumbai which are my favorite destinations.

Only two badges, remaining i.e Gold/Master Director and Gold/Master Trailblazer, well I don’t why it’s not completed yet, my be because of some Bugs because in case of Trailblazer badge only 29 place first review reflecting, although I wrote more than 100+ first review of the places well my be in this month I’ll try hard to achieve the same. The remaining Director badges will be Master/ Gold in this year’s I know I’ll complete.
For every day traveling, stay and food and many more things people using Google Maps still there are many good places not added in Google Maps, and here our work start, I always try to write a review and at least 5 photos of visited place so that people can check in this place with real-time information. Many people write fake reviews for example Driving School, Job Consultant Firm, Travelling Services firm, and many more. But I’ll give a hint always check the Local Guide review on Map, and trust me you get 100% real review. Well from last month I am collecting data of phone numbers of many restaurants some educational institutions and some Government Offices, and many more, in maps many phone numbers added are wrong or invalid, I’m happy to share last month, I verified and contributed 50+ Verified and authorized person phone numbers in Google Maps. I’m planning to add 1 lakh phone numbers, by this year’s. Many people need contact numbers so they search on different platforms, maybe in features you don’t need an app or other platform for a contact number, You all know Google Maps is included many features and picks and I’m sure this will become the best platform to find all complete and authenticated and verified platform. Well, I’m confident Google Maps is the solution for your all queries regarding unknown places.
I know Level 10 means not end the real beginning start from it. It’s give you more responsibility and many people trust for real, accurate and complete information of their destination. Well, from today I’ll write more on connect, I hope my little story inspires some people to contribute more on Google Map and I’m sure People get confidence and hassle-free traveling experience in an unknown place. That’s all for today.
Thank You
