Local Guides will star in Google Earth Voyager

In honor of Earth Day on Saturday, we’re kicking off an exciting collaboration.

The new Google Earth Voyager features interactive stories from partners like National Geographic, Google Arts & Culture, and starting this week, Local Guides too.

Check out our first list: Amazing Urban Gardens, which highlights both passionate reviews and beautiful photos from the community.

Over the next few months, we’ll continue to curate lists that highlight contributions from Local Guides like you. To showcase the best places, we want to hear about local discoveries that you think deserve global attention.

Topics will cover nature, culture, travel, and history. So whether it’s a gorgeous bike path, an unusual hike, a beautiful street, or a hidden sculpture garden, make sure to share knowledge about your favorite places on Google Maps and post them here… or to your go-to social channels using #LocalGuides.

So how do we choose who gets featured? For Voyager and official social channels, we’re looking for Level 3+ Local Guides who write thoughtful reviews, and take beautiful photos that accurately represent places on Google Maps.

See our community policy for more tips on how to stand out.

@AlexVee This is a great initiative. When I was checking the new Google Earth, I was thinking how can we add places in my country.

I would love to add following places in Sri Lanka. Most of them are UNESCO world heritage sites. I will try my best to add new photos of these sites in coming months.

Ancient City of Polonnaruwa
Ancient City of Sigiriya
Golden Temple of Dambulla
Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications
Sacred City of Anuradhapura
Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha)
Mihintale Temple
Rajagalathenna

There are places in India, like in many other countries, which deserve global attention.

We’ll definitely participate and take the advantage of it.

Double Kudos
