Here,What’s the most interesting thing I’ve done as a local guide is Adding photos on google map.
My name is Kalpitkumar Parekh. I joined the google local guide program in 2016. At that time, I was simply giving reviews and rating, as I used to provide photos of the places I was traveling to, but only for memories and at that time I had a phone that didn’t even have the clarity of the photos. Then when I got to college, I brought a new phone. It gradually crossed the levels. In which I did mobile photography and added photos to different places and a few places. But I was interested in uploading the most photos. I was capturing places where photos were not yet in Google map.
While I was taking photos, I also had an interesting case. I share it here. The renovation of Vadodara Railway Station was completed.
So I happened to upload these photos to Google Maps, so that people could be helped. That time when I was photographing the Vadodara railway station, I was busy doing photo capture and I had no idea what was behind me!?. Then all of a sudden my foot fell on a dog’s tail, then the dog ran after me and I was in front of him. For about 300 meters the dog continued to run after me. And I escaped anyway. But I went back to the Vadodara railway station and ended up capturing quite a few photos and uploading them to Google Map. This is an interesting part of my life that I did for Google Map Photos.
There was another case that I am sharing. This case gave me a lot of respect. I used to photograph the BAPS Swaminarayan temple Atladra.
Then one person asked me what you were doing. Then I told them that I was uploading these photos to Google Maps to help people. So the guy told me I had a shop too, would you upload his shop photos to GOOGLE map? Why didn’t I need you anywhere? Then I uploaded photos of his shop with his own account. Then he asked me what do you study? I told them that I do IT engineering and am a web developer. He told me that you would like to create a website for me? I said yes. Then I developed their website. This greatly enhanced their business. And he did this with his friend and I got a lot of customers from him. So that gives me a lot of respect.This is an interesting part of my life that benefiting for my profile by uploading a photo to Google Map. Thank you Google Map
