To connect my community and make it accessible to the world is one major reason that motivate me to hosting a Worldwide map edit
for my community (Ogbomoso).
Ogbomoso is a unique city in Oyo State, Nigeria. And its rapidly growing, people from different part of the world are migrating to settle and live the rest or part of their life here, trust me
At first I was a bit confused to choose route for the Worldwide map edit, but then I quickly remember my last experience when I went to LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL (the only government hospital in Ogbomoso) for malaria treatment, although I’m very strong now :). then, I find it very difficult to locate the hospital on map, I couldn’t identify the building I was meant to go, I was totally confused and I detest asking for directions around the hospital as I’m ill and dont have enough strength.
Such bad experience makes me decide that we are going to improve the visibility of the hospital on map for quick and easier accessibility for people like me who love looking up a place on map before been there in real time.
So our starting point for Worldwide Map Edit was mapping different building and structures in the hospital, then uploading their relevant pictures. We started our mapping by 10AM from the hospital entrance, down to the structures (building and non building facilities) in the hospital. It was actually fun as every community member present were so excited about the impact and change we made in the hospital.
In all it was actually a successful project for us and I’m excited that my team was able to improve the presence of the hospital on Google Map. I sincerely appreciate the mind behind this initiative @HelloSamsonR , because I personally didn’t plan to execute this project at this point in time if not for the Vibe of Worldwide Map Edit Event. @Mayford@U-royFelixA@OSAMA@KarenVChin You guys are the motivation.
Nice @Charleybaits. Thanks for participating in this #WWmapeditwalk2017. It was such an amazing experience for all of us, am glad you did enjoy this event. Thanks for help and making and impact UK n your community as your contributions will help improve the information on Maps in your community. Nice and a big well done to you and your team
Wowww @Charleybaits , thanks for sharing your personal story and why it’s so important to be sure not only we add to Google Maps, but are diligent with making sure what is on Google Maps is 100% accurate. It could be a life or death situation as you eloquently described your personal health emergency.
i know @HellosamsonR has a big smile of joy and contentment with you and the many other Local Guides from around the world who participated in his Worldwide Map Edit Walk Meetup. = ) who are sharing their recap experiences - “powered by us, Local Guides.”
@KarenVChin Very true, its paramount that we sanitize Google Map, because we never can tell the instance people might want to rely on it. I’m happy that I could contribute in my own little way. Thank you for your kind words, @HelloSamsonR will surely be proud

@OSAMA Thank you chief, Google Map has been my second companion, and I need to do my little best to make it more better, by making places that matters to be visible.
