Finally Greek Local Guides have become a bit more active. They demanded a Facebook group (most Greeks are more Facebook friendly in general) so I made one for them and admin it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/433409127114041/
(Is there some sort of feed or automated way to connect a facebook page to local guides connect website or RSS feed of latest or something?)
Anyway now we have a few active users helping improve Maps in our region. The main functionality seems to be helping junior members get their proposed changes approved. Multiple entries, category mistake, missing places and such. I suspect that this might be against Google Maps policies in some way but I really haven’t seen the slightest sign of abuse. (Like someone telling us to create a fake place or something.)
Sometimes it works well. Especially younger, keener Local Guides get frustrated with delays in seeing what they have “fixed”. Also we can discuss best practices so that we are all on the same page on a specific example. But is it OK as a strategy or do I have to tweak/adapt somehow to what is going on here?
