Once upon a while, I was in Rajkot city which is in Gujarat. I had finished my meeting and my work in Rajkot city. And then I had 3 days to travel to Rajkot city. I was not familiar with Rajkot city and the city was new for me. So I had searched on google maps to wander in Rajkot city. and as a result, I had so many places to discover and I had easily spent my 3 days discovering Rajkot city.
When I reached my hometown Ahmedabad. I realized how these map reviews and lists helped me to discover new places.so from that time I was self-motivated to give reviews of places and be part of the local guide community.
What I like the most about Local Guide is that it collects location data (it is okay Google, as long as you tell us beforehand) and present it on a timeline view. It is nice being able to check out the places visited, reflect on the experiences had on those places.
I don’t know why but I really enjoy taking a look at the path I took throughout the day. By means of the information on commuting and how much time spent on specific places that the app provides, I try to rate my efficiency and spot where I have been losing an alerting amount of time.
Very convenient and helpful when verifying info especially when traveling in foreign countries where you can’t speak the local language. Google maps had made traveling easy and convenient for me because I always have someone to ask about directions 24/7.
Recently I had created a list for students and employees and business person who lives in Ahmedabad. List targets people who works in weekdays and in the weekend they don’t go anywhere because of the lack of knowledge of places and sometimes Ahmedabad city is new for them. so for that kind of people, i have created a list of places where they can go and spend weekends and get refreshed with new vibes. As per Jim Carrey says “Your boredom is your soul itching to have a break from the stereotype regular days.”. So the list gives them places to visit at weekends.
so as I described earlier by giving reviews and list to people I feel blessed because I believe in “In the Joys of others lies Our own.” so after getting help from google map in Rajkot city, I contribute in google map local guide to help people.
