Happy 10th/20th Anniversary

This is official announcing the TRAC 2025 event in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Local Guides program and the 20th anniversary of Google maps. Both of them are part of our lives and we do appreciate them. We are trying to build a healthy local guides community to help build a accurate map for our own personal use and the use of others. Now we will roll out the drums and the bottles. Put on your hiking and dancing shoes and let’s get the party started. Normally TRAC main season is March 23rd,but we’re starting earlier just to celebrate!!!

Perfecto gracias! Vamos a por más!

Great initiative, @SholaIB. I have always wanted to join the TRAC campaign, but somehow couldn’t manage to take part. I have just submitted my registration form and joined the telegram group. Hope to work with you guys together.
The problem is in the USA there is not much option to edit or add roads as it is already so nicely done. Even for construction if one road is closed, an alternative road is already added to the Maps. Not sure how well I can do it. But I surely will try my best.

Thank you, dear Connect Moderator and Captain of TRAC @SholaIB for the announcement. It’s a pleasure to see @MarcoDavoli as co-host. I’m stoked to be a part of the campaign. My Best wishes to all the team members!

Cool idea, but waiting until March to start TRAC is too hard for me, so I’m adding new routes every day :wink:
