How you become a Google Local Guide? My story is different...

Hello everyone… Google Local Guides… It sounds good…

Some people really don’t remember that how they become a Google Local Guide, but everyone is having a story… and few seconds back i started thinking about my travel as Local Guide, and i tried to recollect the memories that how i become a Local Guide. As you all know that Google Local Guides are here to Guide people, to improve Maps and to help others, but i became Local Guide to help my self, little confusing… I will tell you the story now.

Few years back I have shifted to new place near to Hyderabad City in India, that time i really not having knowledge of Google Route Maps and it’s very difficult me to explain the route of my house to friends and relatives. I searched my location on Google Maps but I didn’t found it on Maps. I started learning things on Google, how to add a missing place on maps and how to share it to others. This is my first contribution on Google Maps by adding my street and i got appreciated by my other colony mates. The contribution is still going on and see how my contribution look’s on Google Maps here:

I think you are also recollecting your memories, then don’t wait tell me about your story, I love to hear it.

Cheers

Hi I am a new local guide of kinmen, and I just finds out collecting news or sight picture is fun.

More than this, Writing my own feel and post online make me feel connecting to the world.

And the most exciting thing is perhaps some people around the world will take a look at my article

Hi @VijayaNagesh

My name is Vijay Paradkar & I am from Pune. My story is just like you. I shifted to Pune in August of 2015 with my family. My home town is Kolhapur, which is 230 kms away from Pune. Initially it was very difficult for us to find new places & different locations in Pune. So, I started using Google Maps & it made our lives very simple. And this is when the idea of becoming a Local Guide myself came to my mind.

Thanks for your post.
