I'm no more stranger with Google Maps

Hi everyone,

My name is Naeem and I’m from local guide level 5 from Islamabad, Pakistan. My tag line for this discussion is “I’m no more stranger with Google Maps”.

When I visited Dubai and New York last year I realized that how useful Google maps are. Throughout my journey I had been using Google maps to find routes, paths, locations all in real-time. The fantastic thing I found was the accurate live information about Buses, Trains and taxis which gave me confidence of touring alone. This couldn’t have been achieved without local guides who provided information about their local places and things.

Since then I decided to be part of Google map contributions and started my contribution to help others get accurate and relevant information to visitors and strangers.

I hope everybody gets full benefits from Google map to find locations and relevant information in real-time.

It is also good to have meetups in local here to share the views and feedback about the event and Google Map.

Hello @NaeemShehzad ,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I too have found google maps to be an indispensable tool while travelling especially abroad.

We have a community called Pakistan Local Guides. You can find people from your area there and try to arrange a meetup. . .

Thank you @HashimN , @ShirazA , @AftabA_1 and @QemrenA for the posts. I have already a community on Google+ https://plus.google.com/communities/102491955265983345068

This is to let people explore Islamabad and guide them to local places.
