Hi @MOHANLAL-MISTRY welcome to local guides connect. Happy to hear that you like to do contributions to GM. If I’m correct the content should be “I AM A GOOGLE LOCAL GUIDE WITH A GOOGLE BATCH GOOGLE LOCAL GUIDES BADGE”.
as @deepakjhic said you can check the existing communities to find local guides using the Unofficial Communities link. if you can’t find any community from your city / country you can still create one. Please check this “Community Moderator 101” and you will get some useful information.
also, do you know you can host meet-ups to meet many local guides from your city?. I do lot’s of meet-ups in Sri Lanka
I’m sharing a useful link “How to Organize a Local Guides Meet-Up” by @HelloJess. this will explain how to plan your meet-up, how to submit your meet-up to be published as an event etc. hope you will come up with a beautiful meet-up soon. all the best
Hi @MOHANLAL-MISTRY ,
@deepakjhic and @IlankovanT provided you with some great Local Guides tips and links to get you started with finding a current Local Guide Community or creating a Local Guide Community in your area if there isn’t one already in existence.
I would also add this great Local Guide video resource for you in how to create and organize Local Guide Meet-Ups.
If you are not a subscriber already, Local Guides also has their own YouTube channel that includes a great “Getting Started” Playlist to subscribe and get the latest tips and tricks on being a Local Guide.
Please let us know if you have any further questions. You did a great job asking your question here on the forum. Here on Connect, there are always Local Guides from around the world like @deepakjhic online to help, brainstorm and share ideas, connect, besides waiting for one of the Connect Moderators, such as @IlankovanT or me.
We are a fun, friendly and helpful community.
Good Luck!
Cheers,
Karen

Hello
I live in Skokie Illinois and I used Google Maps To Find The Costco Warehouse In Niles Illinois and they got me lost
I can provide you with the directions that I took, but not how many feet I walked
Please let me know, how I can assist you in updating google maps
Thank You

@Bob_S we are happy to have you here.
It’s your first post in connect so let’s go through few important topics on connect.
Firstly a warm welcome to Local Guides and our Connect community forum.
Why don’t you take a moment to introduce yourself to the other Local Guides?
Be sure to explore the many sections of the site and check out the conversations happening among our Local Guides.
Tips for getting started:
This section of the site has some good tips on how to use the community and interact with your fellow Local Guides.
- Search the community before posting as others may have asked your question (and received an answer) already.
- Use a descriptive title for your post to make it easier for people to know whether they should open it.
- Use the Location field to geotag your post to a specific place, but make sure its important to the content of the post.
- Don’t share personal information on the forum, check out the private messaging option instead.
- This area has helpful more information about the Local Guides program in case you have more questions.
- By following this link you can find local guides near you.
Many thanks and have fun with other local guides.
