As there is lockdown in india government of India put completes lockdown,and ask people to stay in home they can only comes out or go anywhere if they have pass or identity card of office,thus for reviewing of any place or taking pictures please provide us any pass or identity card from Google for there active and above level local guides , taking pics in some area like railway platform,mall sometimes very dangerous, because others thinks you are doing something wrong,plz think over it and provide us identity card or pass so that we can do our work happily.
Try searching for ID cards here on Connect and you will find quite a few proposals. Also you will find the arguments as to why this is not likely to happen.
First thing that a Local Guide have to do is to follow the indication of your Government.
Google will never give you a pass or a card to put your health at risk, while Google is giving exactly the opposite indication (Stay Home) to everyone working for them.
Being a Local Guide is NOT an opportunity to violate or by-pass the official indication, and the priority is safety and health of everyone.
Covid is extremely dangerous, so stay at home if you don’t need to go out for specific reasons (work, food, health)
Hello
I shall explain in detail how your expectation is trivial.
=> Anyone with a valid Google account can contribute to Maps. Means, being an LG, we are not someone exceptional.
We signed the program for points, badges, occasional perks and recognition.
=> The reasons for not providing with an ID or Badge were discussed here on several occasions. Not to mention, there would be an irresistible tendency to flout the ID & expect some differential treatment.
=>The LG activity does not require us to contribute without any break. One can remain dormant for several weeks, months or even years.
Surely, there is no expectation to travel unnecessarily and visit places to only to enhance our contributions.
=> Even while at home, you can contribute in multiple ways. The following are to name a few.
Uncover missing info and check the facts. What’s required is a phone & internet connectivity.
Answer yes/no questions. Now you need not wait to see those questions.
Expand your reviews to make those helpful.
I find out of 66 reviews 40 are less than two hundred characters long.
Identify errors in Maps, Spam places, duplicates, incorrect names or categories and so on.
So, stay at home & be safe. You can continue to contribute without risking your health anyhow.
