What and why I always love to contribute my knowledge in Google maps :))

Hi, I am Yunus Parvez Khan, a level 7 local guide. As a local guide I loves to add every businesses to the map, also the places like park, playground, school, hospitals, shops, malls, cafes, cyber cafes and lots more. I’ve added many places in google maps from back 3 years. Actually from my chilhood I just love to surf the map. The first smartphone in my house has came in 2012 from Samsung. From this year I started my maps story. 3 years back in 2016 in my city there is no places added in maps exept the Railway Station(CTR). In that situation I searched about that how I can add places in google maps.
Then I find that being a local guide I can do that, and what’s about ? I just made my account and got started.

This year I went to every shop from my house to the citycenter with one of my friends to take nessary details about the shops. I done as same, and noted that all. Then I uploaded the informations and added the places. Then me and my friend started to search for the most popular places of our city and also the important places, by patroling the city on bicycle.
After finding and putting it in list I’ve again added these in maps. Thats all was going very fast and well. But I realised the the users may search for some visual thing. And that is the reason I started capturing the pictures of every places of my city and uploading that. It is my most favioriot activity as a local guide. Because how much a visual media can help users does’nt be covered by any thing more, which I know very well because I always searches for pictures or videos. By my this work google gave me points and now I am a level 7 local guide. After that I started to surf the city map very carefully and reported every posible errors or fake things. Then using Google map maker I’ve also added some roads like- 2nd CTR Street, 3rd CTR Street, 4th CTR Street, RS Street, 1st RS Street etc. on the map of my city Chatra, West Bengal.
And now in this busy days I am only like a exicutive of Google Maps as a local guides, I really feels sad that I can’t give much time to maps now. But whatever, I am a Local Guide and this is very proudful for me guys.
Now I am also a small YouTuber, I’ve started my new juerney with Google where I will obviously make some videos about Google maps local guides. One more thing that if I will be selected for the connect live 2019 in San Jose, California where I’ve applied then I will make some intresting vlogs about the concert and will upload it.
