Tell us what you love sharing most on Google Maps and why

I love traveling and I share my experience with my friends, relatives, and colleagues. I provide tips and suggestion when they travel to places I have been to.

Till now I didn’t know about contributing to Google Maps until a friend of mine told me about it. I came to know about Google Local Guide less than 2 months ago, and since then I started contributing to Google Maps on whatever I feel will help people.

There are 3 main areas I like sharing which I feel will help people in making their decisions.

  • Hotels I have been to

  • Restaurants I have tried

  • Tourist Attractions I have visited

Hotels

Booking hotel is always a headache if you are particular about things like location, cleanliness, and service. I add photos of hotel rooms on Google Map using the iPhone app. I write about what is good or bad about the hotel and whether is it worth the price or worth staying in. Also whether it is suitable for family kids or not, and how is the surrounding area.

Restaurants

I like taking photos of food and that really helps me contribute better on Google Maps. The photos themselves talk a lot about the quality of food. I add reviews on the service and taste of food and mention if it is recommended to go there for a certain type of food. For example, here is a review of one of the Arabic Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur. I always recommend all my friends to try this place when it comes to Arabic food. I fly from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur just to have a meal in this restaurant: https://bit.ly/2URm3tn

Tourist attractions

Tourist attractions are something I enjoy adding to Google Maps the most. I take many photos of tourist attractions to show the details of the place and talk about it in a few sentences and weather is it worth going there or not. How much time is needed to visit this place and what is good or bad about this attraction. Here is an example of Universal Studios Singapore, a theme park in Singapore with photos and videos to help people make the decision on visiting this theme park: https://bit.ly/2Wg9Xvg

I love sharing this information because a lot of my holidays and hotel stays have been better because of reviews of other contributors and I enjoy being one of those who help the community. It is also a badge to wear.

On top of the above mentioned points, I want to help a lot of small businesses to have their presence online which will help them a lot. I have started adding local businesses like convenience store, barber shop, salon and local food stalls around my area, so people can search for them or see as suggestions in results in google map search. Sometimes I even add photos of sign boards in the street while adding photos for a place, this is to help people look for the signs while searching for the place.
