Hy Local Guides,

On October 19th ( Saturday), me and @ysakh [ Vaisakh ] conducted The Perfect Blend: Coffee, Culture and Community in Eve’s Coffee at Eve’s Coffee. This meet-up was in association with Eve’s Coffee and Playfolio. Before starting, I wanted to thank Vaisakh and @Kunjuz [ Akshay ] for being part of this meetup.

  • What is Local Guide Connect and How do join in?
  • Beta speaking about how Google Maps helps his business.
  • Introduction of New Local Guides.
  • Hearing Questions and solving them.
  • Conclusion with a Coffee.

There were three speakers in this presentation: me, Vaisahk and @Betajayakumar

  • How to add images/videos
  • How to add places/shops
  • Checking facts.
  • Giving answers.

I took the sections:

  • How to add roads
