Poor Presence of Local Guides in our Area

I noticed that there’s a less presence of Filipino users here in Local Guides Connect. I live in a small rural town but our area is in Google Maps. We have pin errors and outdated information, and I feel like I’m not doing enough.

It’s not easy to find other local guides that are living near to you - not in real life and not on Connect, that is something I can testify to from personal experience as well @mrmelchor23 (I’m from Belgium, so a completely different part of the globe).

Nevertheless, this should not stop you from trying to find them. And while doing so, why not join some virtual meetups to get to know local guides from other areas (just check out the meetup section here)?

As for the incorrect info on Maps… that definitely is also a global issue. In case you are not yet familiar with the Local Guides Clean The Map (#LGCTM) concept, do check out this post:

It can be really frustrating, but at the same time… it gives us rooms for improvement. Thank you for the inspiration!
