This is my third year I became part of the Google Local Guide. I was once be a foreigner in new place, very confusing because I did not know about that place. Based on this experience, I am interesting to become a Google local guide. First time, I was just take some photos from my local city and share it, but now…. I am addictive to add and add and add photos in everywhere… It’s become a new hobby. I like photography, I like traveling and…so I like to become Local Guide.
For Mapping, sometimes I walk a few kilometers and mapping in new area, sometimes I mapping the local attraction in my city, the outlets in a mall and sometimes I also mapping stores or small canteen in rural streets.
I like to add new places like hawker stall or small convenience store because I think they also have the same rights to publish in google map. By publishing them, I can help them to grow and help people looking and find business especially in my country, Indonesia.
And I thing It is really fun. Everywhere I go, I bring my ponsel and my 360 Cam, take a photos and put it on the google map. To motivate my self, I try to challenge myself to always add photos every month.
The Google map system is open to everyone, so it is our responsibility to keep it accurate by always updating on location. I hope what I did and what this group did will be make a better experience for other peoples in the world.
Let’s Happy Mapping the world and make a better world!!
