Videowalk is a revolutionary new idea for meetups.
The first video walk was hosted in Pune on 5th April 2026 as part of the Maps Master series.
It focused on adding videos to places on Google Maps.
Local guides @TusharSuradkar @AjitThite @DurgaK03 @dpalash2205 @Amitsharma007 participated 
We started from the Laxmibai Statue on JM Road, walking towards Cafe Goodluck, capturing videos of storefronts, accessibility, sustainability features, parking, food menus displayed outside, and any offers from shops.
We had our first Chai pe Charcha halt at Shiv Sagar Hotel.
Halfway along the route, we paused again for a group photo with the banner.
We continued towards Cafe Goodluck, filming various public places and small businesses.
We also captured some photos of street art for fun and for any future challenge participation on Connect.
At 11:30 am, we had a virtual call with local guides from all over India who joined to cheer us 
Thank you, everyone, who joined online @TravellerG @Kumaarsantosh @Rahul001 @Rkmahajan @mahatokoushik623 @SharmaK ji, @Negideepak
At Shiv Sagar Hotel, I presented @framesbysumedh his certificate for hosting the Maps Master meetup last month.
Cards and stickers, badges and calendars shared by local guides from all over the world were distributed to everyone.
Finally, we settled down at Cafe Goodluck for the third Chai pe Charcha.
A person reflecting from the mirror on the wall photo bombed our group photo

I hope this innovative and refreshingly new style of meetup catches up with local guides and, by contributing more videos to Maps, they also achieve their goal of getting the Master Photographer badge on Maps
