I am an urban designer and architect and Google Maps has helped me in many projects. The Street View provides me the opportunity to go through the streets and explores the neighborhoods of different cities without traveling. I have drawn many inspirations for my design by exploring different places using Google Street View.
Meanwhile, by reading Google reviews about each place, I could sort out the viewpoints of the people who have used a building or an urban space. Public satisfaction is an important element of a successful urban space. However, it is usually compacted to evaluate users’ perception during the time. Google reviews have facilitated this issue by publishing users’ perception.
To appreciate Google Maps for these great services, I decided to be a local guild and share my experiences and pictures with other people.
