When i talk about Google Maps,it’s only friend who accompany me when I travel alone. It helps me not only in reaching to right place but also getting to the place in minimal time.
I don’t think till the time wherever I went outside,I had to ask people for directions. If people around world help us in directions,reviews , answers to the queries through Google Maps then why I can’t do the same. It made me think of giving back to people. Two years back I started posting the review ,photos ,answers to queries on Google Maps. It makes me feel great and joyful. It inspired me a lot. I could see old guy struggling getting into restaurant for dinner. why : may be the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible or the guy didn’t have iformation about it. If someone can help these people through Google maps ,it would be nicest thing to do. Here I love to help these people getting them at right place. Another example where I helped a guy adding vehicle tyres shop place on Google maps. Not only it helped him in his business of selling and reairing vehicle tyres but also it helped many people around the area to locate the shop and get things done. I do contribute by posting reviews on food with few photos , adding photos on nature scenic beauty, Q&A.
Most important part which I like is Edits section where I do add new places,correct the details related to perticular place like address or Opening hours . If I talk about my experience where I had to visit hospital as soon as possible and get consulted quickly , unluckily hospital was not open as I could see the opening hours provided on Google maps were not correct.
Somewhere I feel adding the things in Goole maps is not only thing we should do. We should make Google maps more corrective in terms of details/information provided in it . This is where I tend to give proper reviews/information related to a place/food/Q&A.
That is why i feel the communication between me and Google maps is not one way ,it’s both ways.
