Thankful Thursday: Local Guides who help others contribute better

Connect is a place for Local Guides to meet and exchange knowledge and experiences. Some have found their passion in photography; some guide others to amazing restaurants; and some give bucket list-worthy travel recommendations. And there are also those Local Guides who are passionate about the correct information being shown on Google Maps.

This Thankful Thursday, we give thanks to those of you who make it their mission to contribute better on Google Maps and help others do that, too.

One such Local Guide is @MortenCopenhagen . With over 64,000 edits, 5,000+ facts checked, and 700+ places added on Google Maps, Morten has significant experience to share. He does so in educational posts on Connect about adding new businesses, moving location pins, removing wrong and outdated locations, and more. He always gives plenty of helpful examples and uses the Maps and Google Business Profile policies as the foundation for his tutorials.

Morten considers himself “a curious user” of Google Maps, but he’s also a strong supporter of his fellow Local Guides. His miniseries “How to Get In and Out of Trouble” goes into detail about common contribution missteps and ways to avoid them. And, just like with his educational posts, it’s all based on first-hand experience and observations!

Join us in celebrating this awesome Local Guide and everyone who helps others contribute better on Google Maps! Have you read some of Morten’s posts or tried his tips? Let us know below.
