Some of the best lists on Google Maps created by Guiding Stars

Editor’s Note: This post is part of our series celebrating our Guiding Stars, the Local Guides who went above and beyond to make a difference in 2020, on Google Maps and off. Read more here.

Local Guides around the world surface great recommendations for the best places to go and things to do on a regular basis. That’s why we love when you take it a step further and use different contribution types in a helpful way like the following Google Maps lists do.

“The Pink Lists” by Carolina

This series of lists was inspired by Carolina’s personal experience. “As a breast cancer survivor and member of a foundation that promotes early prevention of this disease, I came up with the idea of creating Google Maps lists to guide patients who were recently diagnosed and don’t know where to go,” she said.

Where to eat and support those in need by Sarah

This list, created by Creative Contributor Sarah, highlights cafes, restaurants and bakeries in Sydney with a profit for purpose vision. Profits made go to support those suffering disadvantages. The list includes places like Taste Food Tours, a not-for-profit social enterprise that promotes racial and social inclusion, giving neighbourhoods the chance to show off unique food cultures. We love that Sarah took the time to create such an informative and interesting list that will help so many.

Where to get hand sanitizer in Buea by Lily

In the true spirit of helping people, Lily created a list of places to buy hand sanitizer in her area. We love that she thought of creating a list specific to this this in 2020 at a time when people need special supplies like this more than ever.
