The closest and most overlooked place I have ever add to Google Maps

I walk around that place every single day and I have never noticed it is not in Google Maps.

In July 2019 I planned a car trip with my friends, and as a start point we decided to choose only one famous place which is located around our small village and everybody know about - a church. When only one foreign guy from the group asked what church I had meant, I knew there is something wrong immidiately. As I thought, the impossible became reality and this historical famous church built in a first half of 14. century was really missing on the map. How come, we all laughed. A shop, gym and pubs long ago reviewed, but no this gem? I put on my shoes, drove there directly, took a few pictures, and in a few minutes the missing place was fixed properly. “Miracle!” Friend of mine said once he noticed newly formed point of interest replaced empty space. I make a miracle in a second I replied with smile.

This story implies two points:

  1. Despite this place was literarally behind the corner, it was hidden from the world. Since that day, the number of views is increasing every day and I´m really happy that I helped to bring this historical monument closer to comunity. That is right example why I love to add places, missing information or review on google maps.

  2. You never know who you can help it with or when some information will be useful for me. Or in the other words: the more you give, the more you get.

I kind of have a similar experience. In my case it was a small Indian restaurant that I love to visit time to time (because the owner makes my curry real spicy). I found that restaurant on Google Maps so I started going there, but one day it disappeared from the map. I was worried if the restaurant was closed, but it existed right at exact same spot. So I created a new pace on Google Maps along with some photos. People started liking and reviewing the spot again. I still don’t know the mystery behind it… :thinking:
