Being a travel blogger for last 10 years I find Google Maps an excellent tool to document and share my travels in India and abroad. I work with various tourism boards and travel frequently on assignments. I keep documenting the accurate locations of places where I travel to. In addition I also document what I do and what I eat, the reviews of the places in Google Maps and Local Guide Connect. This is a good way to share and guide users of Google Maps.
I love visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites, especially the medieval and ancient sites. Many of them are crumbling to dust. I want to capture them for future generations so that they can see through my lens what a mighty history the world has! Pictures make it easier to judge a place/food compared to plain text. Photography is my passion, and I find Google Maps an ideal platform to share pictures of the places I had visited. It is the number of views that I get for the ‘pictures’ that inspires me the most. So many of my pictures have more than 10,000 views! This kind of data helps me understand what kind of ‘pictures’ and ‘information through the pictures’ are being searched by audience.
