Google Maps added an extra feather of adventure/excitement/thrill in my cap

It was all got started when I left my hometown, a new city, a new country and a new continent, from a small town of India to Johannesburg, SA. I was quite unaware and new to everything. After getting a long week, a new weekend knocked at my timeline. I am pretty sure about that time we were 3, of-course one of them was me, my car and my android phone into which Google Maps being installed.
On moving with time, I visited many places out there like whenever I wanted to go anywhere, Google Maps had always been there with me. Moreover particularly for me, my best and most favorite option of Google Maps is to see the places we are intending to visit like just by searching ‘nearby places to visit’, ‘weekend gateways’ and the best of them, is ‘grocery store/Shopping mall near me’ and it would show all those places around you with its corresponding distances, along with its pictures and closing/opening time and what would be the efficient way to be there with contact numbers.

As a Local Guide, since many years I have been into contribution in different ways, I have traveled 2 different continents and contributed best to my knowledge and I wish I could see more option of sharing videos (if we can sum up the ambience of that place) in Google Maps for Local guides. Moreover I wish I could continue to find more about myself, to explore more and to push my limit. Nothing is impossible with proper usage of anything we get in our life during different phases and try to look into a different dimension because life is beautiful in all perceptive, enjoy life, it is beautiful !

Hi @ali_faraz_syed . Sounds like you’ve just made a big move. Like you, I think the ‘places nearby’ feature on Google Maps is great. I use it when I am looking for a new restaurant or cafe to try. Hope you settle in to your new town easily and enjoy exploring all the new places with Google Maps. Take care.
