Google map reviews - not just contribution but acts as Trip planner

Hello World, Namaste from India!

I still remember I started using google maps to check distance between two points. Literally that’s it!

After that, With time I try to learn this usage of google map in efficient manner so I started checking features of google maps, I came to know about Google Local Guide Program. I started contribution by uploading photos, videos, reviews and creating useful lists etc.

But the most efficient use of Google map I used it as a Trip Planner, ever wonder how?

So basically earlier whenever I plan anything to visit new place around the world I usually hire some trip advisor to help and create iteanrry for the trip which is off course expensive too. But then I started using google map as Trip advisor.

Now, wherever I plan to go, at first I check nearby places on map, the pictures of that place which gives me more clarity, about the place. I can compare hotel prices on the google map, I can find the best route between the destinations, I can find some hidden points on the place which is unknown to some websites/advisors too.

And moreover I find genuine reviews apart from those paid/fake reviews on website about the place/hotel etc which actually helps lot to plan a best trip.

Hope you will plan your next trip this way and find it useful.

PS: I recently published list of places I visit with the help of Google Map Advisor, let me know your thoughts. https://goo.gl/maps/SYESTAkZRx7CaY5x6
