Hello friends. Google, Local Guide, and all of us, local experts, are making a big contribution to technology. Technologies that make our life more interesting and easier. I joined the program in 2017. Since that time, I have done many useful things for ordinary people in my region. I have published more than 2000 photos of which 95% are 360 degree panoramas. Wrote more than 50 detailed reviews. Checked over 2500 facts. Answered over 250 questions. I do not take pictures of food at ease. I take really useful and necessary photos. Which show the beauty of my city, my land and my country. The biggest tour I have includes more than 1000 photos. In it is my city and surroundings. The whole city can be passed from end to end several times and see beautiful lakes and a river outside the city.I do all 360-degree panoramas on my cell phone. Most shot on Iphone 5s. These are very high quality and beautiful photos. I am proud of them and I am not ashamed to say so. They are my gift to my hometown and to those cities where I was. And I shot in St. Petersburg, Magnitogorsk, Ufa, Sterlitamak and other cities and villages. My hometown is Salavat, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. The population is only 160,000 inhabitants. But my panoramas were watched more than 12 million times. I do not make money on this. In the province, this is difficult. But there was once where it benefited me. I needed a glass repair on a car. I agreed with the owner of the company about the repair. Instead of paying for it, I published two 360 panoramas of his company and left a good review. Good not because he was obliged. They just really have a good company. I hope Google will not stop there. Will continue to develop its services. Ads will come to Google maps, as it already is on YouTube. Local experts with quality content will be able to receive rewards for their work.
