Being a student, apart from studies I use to travel places in my state and country with my friends or family. I started using maps since 2015 and it helped me in a lot of situations, like finding places, navigation purpose etc., most interesting thing I’ve done as a local guide is adding places to google maps.
Places I have added helped a lot of people in terms of location and description about the places.
Here are few popular places which I have added which made me get into google maps local guide.
(Got over 1,71,372 views) I have lived here for a year, one day my friend asked to share the location of my hostel in order to meet means I have tried to find it in maps but I couldn’t able to find t in maps, I gave location of adjacent hostel to guide him towards me and then immediately I have added it in google maps .Many people like students, food delivery boys, delivery boys of e-commerce like amazon, flipkart are using this place for their use and services respectively.
2.Natraj Kiranam :
This is the store running by my father in my village, before adding this store in maps, there was no place added in my village. But after adding the place everyone started realizing the importance of putting their business info in maps and added their stores in maps.as time progresses,other places like schools,temples and other places were also added in my village I feel proud like my village, my store can be viewed from any corner of the world by everyone.
3.Government School Saroornagar:
I have stayed here for six months, I use to go for a walk to ground and it was on the way to play ground , usually there was awareness programs conducted by government officials after school. I have taken picture of a gathering in the school and tried to post in maps I am not able to find it in google maps. I thought it could be helpful for the people who are coming for the meeting and added it in google maps.and now it has has around 37,000 views.
Finally I want to conclude this with a small statement that people of india started using technology more intensively only from last 4 years and a lot of places and information is needed to be imported into the maps and local guides plays a vital role in doing it
