I got acquainted with Google Maps around 2 years ago when I posted several pictures from my Sri Lanka vacation. Now I don’t even remember the exact reason why. I used Google to check the distance and routes but I paid close attention to Google Maps only after some time when Google send me e-mail that my Sri Lanka pictures got a lot of views. I didn’t expect that. Since then I started to use Google Maps more frequently and consciously. And I noticed that information on maps was not full: some places didn’t have pictures, some places - schedules, and some places were missing at all, sometimes even places I was passing by every day. I found out that I could add pictures, places, other useful information and I started to do that. I quickly realize that a lot of other people can use information I am sharing on Google Maps to make their life easier. I am answering questions about stores while shopping; I am checking schedule while passing by; I am confirming information while waiting for a bus; I am sharing some tips I know in comments… Google Maps is asking me questions and I am ready to answer because I know that my answers will help someone the same as someone’s answers are helping me.
