The Google local guides are nothing but human beings. Since the Google local guides are human beings, they have the social responsibilities to help others. That is why human beings have been becoming local guides since the launch of the product -‘Google maps’ by Google. The Google local guides are helping others through contributing on the Google maps by providing information regarding location & others. Consequently, users of Google maps can locate easily any place in an unknown area. Though the Google local guides are contributing voluntarily, they might be lost in their spirits to work on the Google maps other than any inspiration from Google. The local guides are working for the Google maps without any expectation for obtaining rewards from Google, but every human being would like to get recognition where they contribute. Without recognition, sprits of any kind of works might end as well. So, I would like to define recognition as one kind of inspiration. With enough inspiration, every human can achieve anything that they thought was impossible.
I think the Google local guides programs are inspirational programs for the Google local guides across the world. To provide continuous affords, the Google local guides need inspiration. As human beings, the Google local guides don’t possible to inspire or motivate themselves for a long period of time. So, the Google local guides need excitement. It may be providing a chance to- i) Attend any amazing program ii) Share experiences iii) Gather knowledge iv) Explore something new. I think, as part of such inspiration, the Google arranges the local guides program-‘connect live’ every year. As we know connect live 2020 is an amazing program where 200 hundred local guides will be able to attend from various destinations across the world. If a Google local guide is chosen to attend, he will be inspired extremely to contribute on the Google Maps.
All of we know that only 200 local guides will be able to attend at the connect live 2020. So, this is a competitive program. A competitive program is more inspirational for any contributors. If a local guide is chosen to attend, he will be inspired to think that he is the best one among the contributors. So, I would like to say that Connect Live is an inspirational program of the Google maps for contributors.
