Supporting Local Businesses - Food Crawl + Map editing meet up

Hello Local Guides

I am super excited to host Food Crawl + Map editing meet up especially to support local Restaurants and businesses around.

We will be meeting at Growels 101 Mall at 2:00 PM and explore the food joints around and edit places.

Some important things to keep in mind for safety measures:

  1. Carry your sanitizer and water bottles.

  2. Don’t forget to wear your masks.

  3. If you are above the age of 45 or have any illness please avoid joining as your safety is priority.

Don’t forget to fill the form so we know the exact number of attendees and can make arrangements accordingly.

Looking forward to meet you all

@jayasimha78 we still have many restrictions but yes places are open with precautionary measures, I already had planned a food Crawl in March but couldn’t do it as we had lockdown.

You can still enjoy the amazing virtual meet ups we have. Local guides around the world are super creative and coming up with fun and learn meet ups :slightly_smiling_face:

@TravellerG thank you for your good wishes.

We will surely call you to join us virtually :blush: :pray:

Great to hear you will be map editing as well @FalguniP . I can see a few things to do in that area right away, like moving pins to the correct location:

  • Digibank ATM: that’s not really in the middle of the parking, is it?
  • Rita Beauty Parlour: in the trees?
  • OM Kare: in the middle of the road?

Enjoy the Meet-up & stay healthy!

Really respect &loved your suggestions, dear friend @JanVanHaver

Thanks for sharing your valuable time too…

But in my experience, except when a group of LGs do the same edit, rarely our individual EDITS get approved.

& for your info: In a country like India, particularly from the rural areas, you cannot get a group LGs to report “Problems”.

Kindly have a look: Not only that there is NO entity with this name (I stay very close to this location), but this cafe is shown as located in a lake - This place.

Have any suggestion, please.

@JanVanHaver yes, You’re right there are many such places which need correction, here many shops are located inside the residential buildings on the ground floor

Many small individual homes are converted into shops and as these small houses are built shapelessly (not in line as there is a curved road and these were built few decades ago) which have a footpath and a a blank space too so there as a lot of errors in pining them

Thank you for notifying the places I will surely correct them :slightly_smiling_face:

@Rohan10 thank you for showing interest it will be great fun!

I hope we make more corrections while enjoying Delicious food :slightly_smiling_face:

I hope you have done the RSVP to receive further updates

@TravellerG I noticed many edits getting approved and some taking ages or just don’t get accepted

Plus many shops here are rented so they keep changing addresses they are located in same lane but just shift to different number.

For instance if it was shop no. 3 earlier they shift to shop no. 6/7

In such cases I try to take help from local guides who resides in similar area but still sometimes the edits are not approved.

Thanks for the additional input @TravellerG . I know there are more restrictions as to what is allowed in India compared to the country I live in, but if suggested edits don’t immediately get a ‘not applied’ and if some do get approved, this means that there is no total block for that type of edits.

It might be more a matter of trust score, which takes time to build up, and a lot of approved edits to reach the ‘approved immediately’ stage.

That cafe in the lake is indeed incorrectly positioned. And as you say it is close to you: could you possible share a picture where it can clearly be seen where it is located? I would then like to try and reposition the pin myself.

@Rohan10 if this is your first physical Meet-up, there is one thing I can tell you for sure: it won’t be your last one! These things are highly addictive :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
