The condition that made me discovered the used of Google Map had got me addicted to the program, hence lead to the most interesting things I have done as a Local Guide.
About two years ago, I was going some where and wanted to locate a shop and, in between I got stranded, not knowing how to get to where and what I needed, and so I remembered Google Maps, I searched and withinfew seconds I was shown the route from my location to the exact place I wanted to go with the aid of real time photos, roads, descriptions and landmarks. I was amazed. So I concluded to contribute my quota to the Google great idea.
What I do with great joy on Google Map is adding photos of businesses, landmarks and everywhere I know adding on Google Map will not only help the owners of the business but also help millions of people to get to know and locate such places with ease, as I have once still enjoying such opportunity of what some people have done on Google Map.
The feeling and joy of making impact and helping lot of people around the world with little act of taking pictures and uploading them on Google Map can not be quantify
Receiving constant message from Google about how my photos are helping millions of people do fuel my energy to do more and I have close to 80,000 photo views. I want to make sure people will always have full information about places I have been by sharing the photos since once photo is more than a thousand words.
Sometimes this year February Google sent me a token of a pair of socks for my contributions on Google Map. I was excited and amazed because it was appreciating me for doing what I love to do “helping people”.
Proud to be a Google Local Guide.
