We had an amazing meet-up at Lamakaan this past weekend, and we wanted to share the highlights with everyone who couldn’t make it
Attendance:
We had a fantastic turnout with 10 enthusiastic Local Guides joining us. The energy and passion everyone brought to the meet-up made it truly special. @nish_25@VinaySeemakurthi
We kicked off the meet-up with some fun ice breakers. It was great to see everyone interacting and getting to know each other better.
Google Maps Feature Discussion:
We delved into the latest features of Google Maps. Many attendees shared their experiences and tips on using these features effectively. A lively discussion ensued about the new user interface and enhanced navigation options.
This segment was particularly enlightening. We discussed the importance of making locations accessible for everyone. @TravellerG shared personal stories and practical tips on how we can contribute to mapping accessibility features more accurately. We also brainstormed ideas on how to encourage more businesses to provide detailed accessibility information.
Celebrations
We have Celebrated 8th Local guide Anniversary which @KashifMisidia initiated also we joined @AjitThite Chocolate day meetup Virtually.
The open floor session for feedback was very productive. Attendees voiced their thoughts on the current state of Google Maps and suggested improvements. Key topics included the accuracy of location details, user interface enhancements.

జయహో హైదరాబాద్ లోకల్ గైడ్స్ ఈ సారి మీట్ అప్ కి హాజరు కాలేకపోయాను. లమాకాన్ లో మన ఫ్రెండ్స్ అందరూ కలవడం సంతోషంగా ఫీలయ్యాను. తర్వాత మీట్ అప్ కైనా హజరవ్వడానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తాను.
I joined virtually. Saw many LG friends. Joined this meet specially because of Arati Shinde. I met her during November 2023 when I visited Hyderabad with my wife for touring purposes. For 3 days, she helped us in Sightseeing and accompanied us for whole days. She used to come to our guest house by driving 11 kms. daily by her scooty and we roamed streets & must see places of Hyderabad with her. It was a great help mainly because she knew the place inside-out and have good command on multiple languages including local. We did not take any pain.
I am sharing this experience through this forum because we all LGs are a close knit family. We help each other and learn from the experience. I am proud that I am a member of this worldwide family.
Congratulations @Arati Host and @TravellerG Co-host , for successfully conducting the meetup in Hyderabad. After a long gap, a physical meetup was held in Telangana state with more than 10 LGs. I am happy, I participated virtually and admitted participants. The recap content and photos are stunning and informative.
Attending such meet-ups give a lot of information and can build valuable friendship also.
Kindly Tag while responding, please…

PS
If you don’t TAG, the other LG won’t get any “Notification” that you have responded to.
How to TAG: Simply by typing the symbol @ before the User Name of an LG (as I have done above, to you), you can send a notification (TAG) to the other member. Ex: if you need to TAG me, then type @ followed by TravellerG - then I will get a notification - for more details, click ‘Here’.
Thanks for your kind presence during the virtual Meetup.
