I need to know if there are any more local guides in Lagos who’d love to join so that we see how we can rent a bigger hall at the venue

This has been a good training for google maps; I’ve learnt about features on google maps that have always been there, but did not know how to use. Now I know why and how information I see on google maps get there. The facilitator was very articulate with simple and quick to understand explanations.

I learnt how to earn points, by writing reviews, adding pictures. I also find out about the perks of being a local guide

The local guides did an exercise to determine the highest points gained during the activity under one hour. This is to get them to practice map editing
