The year 2026 brings a truly historic milestone for the mapping world—the 10th Anniversary of the Local Guides Connect forum! Over the past decade, Connect has evolved from a simple platform into the heartbeat of our global village. It is a place where friendships span across continents and where individual contributions blossom into an impactful community legacy. And @KashifMisidia ji have created this legacy for past 10 years.
As my journey with Connect is very Novice. I am writing to this platform for past 1 year 8 months only, however i have learned numerous things from Fellow Local Guides about contribution, meet-up, different initiatives and many more, this been very much special to me.
