I started really using Google maps once I got a decent phone around 2015. I started working as a purchase manager for the company I work for to this day, and because we are not the most technology forward country we still have to do stuff such as visit goods and services providers in person. In this activities I realized that small companies don’t usually update their information online, and it’s very common for them to change addresses which they also don’t update either. So that’s when I started updating contact information, uploaded pictures and evaluating this places.
Once I got that going it was easy for me to keep doing it for every place I visited work related or not.
I realized how useful it has become for me and also for other people, so they don’t go through the troubles I go to find this locations.
