Hi everyone
This is Manish ( level 6) local guide from Bangalore India , how I got to know about local guide program is I had a provision store I wanted to add in good maps when I added I noticed I got some reward points and browsed on it then I got to know about local guide program then later on I added a pharmacy which was opened in my area and it got approved then I started my journey
Photography
Actually I am very passionate about photography, where ever I go I had an habbit of clicking any 1 picture from there like any tree in that area or any scenery etc , after I became a local guide I got an wonderful opportunity to post my photos on Google maps which can help other also and even I dint think my photos would be helpful to people and when I posted my photos I got an amazing respond which made me contribute more I dint think my photos would get so many views and like and then the view and like and reward from Google maps made me contribute more and more and more which made my photography skills improve a lot
Later on as I got reward new good friend I even though that me as a local guide can even help people by contributing , as in India every cab like ( ola ,Uber ) uses Google map and even some of the food website also uses Google maps and I thought if I contribute and add places in Google maps they can easily track the place to travel on Google map and can reach they’re destiny easily and even when I add a place I thought it will be helpful to many other people also to get to know about the place or to see the photos of the place and I decided to click each and every photos where I go and post it on Google maps and
I feel proud to be a local guide helping people thank you Google maps for giving me a wonderful opportunity
