How Google Maps Help Me to Explore the World

I’m Alid Abdul, I’m from Indonesia. I’m an avid traveler and I love photography. I share my travel adventure and my photos on my personal travel blog. As a traveler, I need maps that can lead me to the right destination. I’ve been using Google Maps for a long time. In every single of my journey, I always use Google Maps to assist me to explore the world.

Before I start my journey I always doing some research on my destination. Google Maps gives me information what I need. Especially the reviews wrote by the community. I’m upset when I found misguided or misleading information on the Maps. I found a lot of error and invalid information, even in my hometown.

I hate getting lost in unknown places because of invalid information, it will be exhausted and wasting my time. At that point, I start to make a correction one by one to prevent other people from getting upset like me. Then I thought, it would be great if I start writing the review and post my photo to share my experiences. People start liking my review by giving me a thumbs up. It means that my review has helped them. I’m quite active writing the review on the place I’ve visited. What is the most delicious food on the menu? What is the best time to visit the specific area? What do’s and dont’s in certain places? I’m addicted.

I’ve traveled many countries in Asia, and I’ve writing review a lot of places in other countries. I wish in the future I can travel in other continents and share with the community.

Here’s some of my travel photos.

Hi @VitB

I’m quite shock about this matter, but thank you very much for your help.

Hi @AlidAbdul

I understand you. Sorry once again.

You can visit this article to learn more about this spam filter: Why was my Connect post marked as spam?

In your case it might be because of editing your post few times or because of your photos - they are really good and they capture very famous places so it might thought they are plagiarized.
