Hello everyone, i’m Difa and i live in Bogor, Indonesia, and this whole post wil be about how google maps helps me on my daily activities, and what i love to share there. You may will not see my reviews about big holiday resort, or which fine restaurant to dine in. But, i hope my small contributions, helps everyone on their really daily basis.
Firstly, i work as a preschool teacher in South Jakarta, and basically 6 days a week i have to do ‘solo’ commute for about at least 60 km for each day round trip.
Then why does Google Maps help me a lot on my daily basis? Since i spend most of my day away from home, i rely my self so much on Google Maps for simply look for convinience store to buy drinks, public toilets, nearest train station or bus shelter (whenever i can’t catch the last train to go home) - or as a muslim - which mosque or public pray room that comfortable enough to have my pray times whenever i was outside. It may sounds too simple, but it actually holds big impact for my daily activities. As a young woman, i sometimes have this fear that makes me hesitate to just ask stranger for directions, doesn’t mean that i don’t believe strangers (or maybe i do) but it’s just not always a comfortable thing to do. So,for all this time Google Maps has been there to solve the issue 
And because of those big helps i feel from Google Maps, i also want people to feel everything at ease for their daily activities as i do. To make people (especially women who does ‘solo’ commute like me) feel comfortable on their daily trip. As simple as give review for what’s the easiest public transportation to go to a train station, which jakarta’s train station that provide big numbers of toilets for busy hour, or which train station that has big comfortable praying room.
I know once again it may sounds worthless, but as a 9 - 4 female worker who has to do a quite long trip daily alone for about 30 km away from home, for at least 6 days a week, i found Google Maps really helpful for me, so i can have a comfortable daily commute. I genuinely hope the small thing i do for Google Maps as a Local Guide, will help others, especially everyone who deal with the similar daily activity like me, because everyone deserve for equal helps, whether you’re looking a fine restaurant to dine in or only for a seven-eleven to buy drinks.
