Thanks @Ameerbahaddin for putting this all together!
I’ve been contributing to Google Maps for over 10 years, mainly across Cambodia :cambodia:.
Your post is very helpful for both new and experienced contributors, especially the section on Street View and reviews.

In my case, I ride a motorbike to remote areas, train locals about Google Maps, test local food, and share photos and reviews on the go. I also support local authorities in improving business listings and map accuracy.

Let’s keep the map growing together! :globe_showing_europe_africa::motor_scooter:
