There are many reasons for using Google Maps, as it is really useful. But personally for me it was a helping criteria! I am with my husband moved to another city. We have never been there before and we knew no one here. We had to find an apartment to live, a job to work, a café to eat, etc. This issue became much more important when we have a child. Periodically I had to find clinics and doctors urgently. At this time I opened Google Maps for myself and it helped me a lot. Thank you local guides for sharing your opinions! Your experience I inspired me to join your community and start to share with others. Due to monthly statistics from Google I see that my actions are useful and appreciated, that is why I want to do more to help people and improve the mapping process! Let’s act together to make the surrounding world more understandable and our lifes easier!
