Working for Google as a local guide to help add details of features both natural and artificial on the Google map had been one of the most interesting voluntary work have ever done. smart phones makes it easier as both taking of the detail pictures and adding it to the Google map can be done at the same time. Several interesting thing I did while adding details of features to the Google map but the most will be listed below as they acquainted me to more places and connected me with people within my residence, state and some other part of my country Nigeria.
