Some components, which make Local Guides and Google Maps meaningful for me.
- I like some questions, which appear in Google Maps, about ramps or parking places for people with special needs. A lot of people in my city, with whom I talked to, don’t even think about these issues and it is essential to share such information.
- Lists of places to visit, when you travel abroad. You cannot visit everything as a tourist, unless you are planing to live here for some time. Definitely a time saver for me, especially because you don’t have to search dozens of websites for recommendations on landmarks and especially places to stay.
- Busy hours. A unique feature, which is not present in other systems, popular in Russia.
To sum up: one thing common for all these points: Local Guides help to save time and physical efforts, which are the most precious resources in life
