The most interesting things I've done as a Local Guide: Add locations, add photos, and give reviews.

As a new local guide who always wants to learn new things. I learned a lot on Google Maps through reviews, photos, and so on. Vice versa, I also want to provide reviews, photos, and new locations in order to help people on Google Maps to make it easier for them.

Adding your own location can be done for places that haven’t been listed on Google Maps or not registered yet.

To Add new locations:

  1. Click Add New and select Add a missing place from the drop-down menu.

  2. Zoom in and drop the marker at the exact location.

  3. Select the category Address from the drop-down menu.

  4. Enter the address in the left panel.

  5. Click Send to finish.

In addition to adding new locations, we can also add photos at every place we have visited.

Here’s how to Add photos from “Your contributions”

  1. Make sure that you have Location History turned on.

  2. Open Google Maps

  3. Click the sidebar menu and then “Your contributions.”

  4. Under the “Contribute” tab, click Add your photos to Maps.

  5. And then click Post.

And don’t forget we can also give reviews to every place that we have visited to help other Google Maps users. Learn more here

I suggest you to always contribute to Google Maps by adding new locations, photos and reviews. Besides you will be able to complete the mission given by Google Maps to your contribution, you also help many people and useful for the community.

Being useful and helping people isn’t hurt, right?
