I usually make it a point to leave a comment or a review on Google Map, but I understood the importance of it when I became first hand consumer.
I was standing in front of my hotel down town Austin, TX when visited US last year. I was hungry but had no idea, what to eat and where to eat. Google maps came to the rescue and had lay of the land.
This year my Europe trip would not have been possible without Google Maps Reviews. I visited Vienna, Bratislava, Rome, Paris and Dubai; all my decision making was based on reviews from Local Guides; I used to plan my trip and finalize my itinerary by reading all the reviews and feedback. From deciding which airlines to choose from Vienna to Rome, to which laundry to choose in Bratislava, to choose which attractions to visit in Rome and Paris everything was done by the help of Google Map Reviews.
I commend all then Google Local Guides on all the efforts they take to make life easy for others. These guys you inspire me to be a better contributor!
Thanks and Keep up the good work!
