It’s a pleasure and thank you for replying. Regarding my telegram group chat. It’s exclusively for those interested in adding roads on Google maps. Unless you’re committed and agree to participate adding roads,it’s advisable not to join.
Yes it’s unofficial. Other local guides have other unofficial means of connecting with local guides outside connect like WhatsApp chat group. Well I don’t think I want an official presence of Google or the local guides team on it. We discuss alot of unofficial things particular to us as local guides. Therefore we don’t need any Google or local guides official on it.
Well good luck to you. If I were you,the first thing is to get to find local guides from Portugal and know them. You can then proceed to the next step. Another community outside connect here will not be the thing at all.
In my first comment,I shared 2 links. Please look them up and it will give you an idea of who and what we do as a sub-community of local guides.
As Regarding Google team endorsing you or your idea,not too sure you’ll get that. Have you tried reading The community guidelines? etc? Just browse around and get acquainted with the forum and the program in general.
Happy guiding
Cheers
