It was an incident occurred years ago in my native city Mandsaur, India.
I started with my journey as Google Map Maker. It was not common to use any digital device to find direction using google maps or any other tools as that was the time when smartphones just got launched in the market.
One day, when I was looking for a departmental shop near my house. I discovered many of them are not available on the map. It created a question in my mind that, how the map came to about things in our locality?
Who tells maps about roads and the direction of traffic on it?
This is how I actually got into research to find a way to add things to the map. During searching, I came across a tool by Google that is Google Map Maker. It is a tool to add missing roads and places.
One day while following google maps during a trip I discovered there are many roads that are not available on maps. I tried to add them from my side.
Till now I am aware of any program from google (Local Guide Program). While surfing on the Internet one day I came to know the details of Local Guide Program. I got Introduced myself to it and also understand how it works.
Also got to know how can I earns points by doing different activity like adding the place, writing reviews and much more.
As I moved to a new city Indore in 2017 for my graduation, it was great to see new places. During my visit, I used to add pictures on google map and also to review them. Whenever I check out a new place google use to prompt me to give a rating for it. I never came how time passed and I cam to level six.
It was always great to contribute when you know that it will be going to help other people in society.
