Hope you are doing well. Here I’m sharing with you my Map Editing Meetup experience. I hope you like it.Just organized a meet up on Tea post at a very amazing place especially known for Chai pe Charcha. The said place is located on Kalawad Road in the outskirts of Rajkot (Gujarat) Nobody turned up for the Meet-up, So I started alone.
The response from fellow local guides was quite good when I first informed them about this meet up. This concern of spam information on Google maps is really noticeable. Spam images and videos are being contributed on maps to gain rewards on maps. Thi shows how cheap minded they are. We discussed on how seriythis matter is and how it could it affect others, and in order to prevent spamming, we need to edit that spam images. So, this was our little contribution towards the campaign to make Spam Free Maps.
Thanks for your input and sharing, @rajuroyal . These contributions are very valuable for keeping the content in good quality. Were you able to find a lot of spam? How much time did you spend?
Thank You soo much Yes ma’m , we have found so many spam photos and already reported all pics which are on wrong location. but still those are on the wrong location . my humble request to google maps team remove it .I Daily report more then 1hours For Only Spam.
Thanks for the dedication, @rajuroyal . Please, keep in mind that the process takes some time and we will not be able to keep you updated but your contributions were noted and taken into consideration.
I have reported irrelevant Photos & Videos, even after months they are still not been removed.
Is there any way to know it is under process or flagged as spam?
If there is some Icon (highlight) appears on the Flagged photo, it will be easy for other Local guides to verify it and take it seriously by the contributor to review from his/her end.
@rajuroyal really a great contribution sir, hats off. I’m really shocked after seeing the guy got Level 10 badge by only sharing spam photos. I done spam reporting as much as I can. Great work, keep finding these spam.
