The Power of Local Voice & Idea of Google Travel Planner in Maps

Believe the Local Voice”, that’s the basic guideline for navigation in Indian roads.

The power of local voice is the core value of maps and navigation marking, since people are looking for the local voice for anything and everything. The concept of ‘being local’ is a great idea to explore world and make other’s life easy through better navigation and destination listing.

India, the land of various cultures, multiple languages, different religions and states with entirely unique people has its own way of looking at rest of the world. Therefore living in India and travelling across state requires a lot of calculations and geographical knowledge as the lifestyle differs everywhere. When I started travelling across the states for professional and personal purposes, I had gone through various problems, good experiences and wonders. This made me to be a travel blogger and a local guide to help others travel hassle-free.

More than destinations, people will be interested in destination categories, for example, the best destination of bachelors for 3 days, things to do in a place, pilgrim tourism, adventure tourism, stay out of city life for a day. By understanding this intentions of travelers, a local guide can succeed.

Travelogues make a big difference in the way people look at vacations and travelling. It makes people to feel the path they travel and not just the destination, Blogger is a great platform of open-source travelogue writing. Moreover, a local guide and a good travelogue writer can change the face of tourism. Here is some of the future concepts and must need evolution that can make a huge trend in tourism sector.

Travel Planner through Google Maps - The idea should be bringing a source and destination marker in maps and it should help us building different routes along with the attractions based on the number of days we can spend. This need a kind of artificial intelligence, since we can look at previous check-ins and interest of the travelers and suggests what suits them best.

First step to improve Maps and Google Reviews

Before getting this concept done, the local guides of Google should take more efforts to bring everything in map and keep them updated. This helps in right navigation and makes the user experience pretty great. “Google Reviews” is another area of improvement where we need to have “verified reviews” that makes it more genuine and reliable.

Google Travel Planner can be something that takes multiple inputs from user, along with source and destination. For example, let the user enters below and Google can provide a itinerary for the travel.

  1. Source

  2. Destination

  3. Food Preferences: Vegetarian Hotels

  4. Attraction preferences: Waterfalls, Hills, Watch Tower, Beaches

  5. Shopping Preferences: Clothes, Handicrafts

  6. Fuel: CNG

  7. Stay: 5 Star Hotels

  8. No of days to spend: 3

These inputs parameters should help Google to suggest the best itinerary for the trip. This may be a future scope of Google Map that can help travelers life easy.
