How I added my 1st place in Google maps.

It was a story of the last summer when I had to take my younger sister Sonali, to the food processing plant where she was selected for an Internship.

First I Googled about the place but I didn’t found any relevant result so I reached there with the help of locals. People were very helpful they guided me through the routes however sometimes they misinterpreted Fast Food company with any other company and that’s why it took me 1-2 hours to reach there.

Me & Sonali, both were exhausted due to the intense heat and then I thought, How Sonali handles this on a daily basis? At that time I had an idea about ‘Adding missing places’ on Google maps. So I took some photos and followed some easy steps to add a place on Google maps.

From then, It not just helped my sister but also helped many other students and visitors to navigate that place. On that day, I got to know that there are many places which can help millions of people in foreseeable future which are yet to be added on Google maps.

As a Google Guide, I can be a part of community which can fasten this process.
