Mapping your world, one place at a time

Looking back at the few years since the Local Guides programme was introduced, the scope of the work that’s been accomplished is truly breathtaking.

We’ve been able to share the little spots that matter to us.

The little shops that just popped up.

The old ones that are not as tech-savvy and would not know how to make an online presence.

Now, anyone can literally put themselves on the map.

It’s specially true for those of us who live on small islands far from the main continents and cities. We’re too small or remote to hope for regular visits from the more advanced mapping systems so having Google Maps give us the ability to make ourselves known is so empowering.

This is what the internet promised us.

This is worth being proud of.

Here are some of my favorite shots of my little home island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Enjoy, and come visit to see more

It is true all that you have wrote. Even small places, remote ones, can be noticed and popped-up by people like you. Thank you for sharing
