At first, I used Google Maps as a simple user. But I soon discovered I could make a difference in the city I visited and my neighborhood by simply adding comments from my experiences in places.
But my best and most rewarding activity is to add small businesses as a local guide.
It’s so satisfying, because :
- not being on Internet doesn’t mean you’re not a good Artisan
- sharing with the Google Map community new places and making a change in some other people’s life trough simple actions and imagining peoples saying : “Oh, there’s a new bakery in town !”
- being thanks by local businesses because of their new visibility on Google Maps
I can feel I’m making a difference as a consumer but also as a citizen by improving at my own scale my city and those who leave in it.
