In our information age, any information is available and can be quickly found. People as before do not think about sitting in the libraries for hours looking for information about something. People just think what they need and write it in a search engine. After a moment, he has everything before his eyes on the screen of a phone, computer, etc. This is the use of the information age.
Another thing that is already in little use due to new technologies is a map, a regular paper map that used to be in all homes.
The old map of tram and trolleybus routes of the Almaty city, Kazakhstan
With the advent of electronic maps they receded into the background - they became a kind of accessory, an element of decor. Electronic maps are much more convenient than their paper ancestors. You don’t have to carry a bunch of maps with you when traveling, all you need is a smartphone. You can find any place on Earth and all information about this place from Google Maps on your smartphone.
In this regard, Google Maps have become like a search engine. If you need to find the phone number of some institution or work hours, you go to the Google Maps. If you want to see photos, panoramas of some place, go to the Google Maps. If you want to see the reviews of some place, you open the Google Maps find this place and read. If you need to go somewhere, look at the address of this place and get route. More precisely, the map itself paves the route for you. All you have to do is follow the route. Maps have become an integral part of modern life. They make life easier. After so much interaction with the Google Maps, any person will want to help too and contribute to the improvement of the Google Maps.
My main mission as a local expert and the meaning of this program to me is to help people.
To help people navigate in an unfamiliar place. If on the map all places, pharmacy, cafe, etc. that exist in this region are added, it will greatly help other people.
To help people with the choice, by writing a good, honest review on the map about this place. Of course, we will not forget about honest rate.
To help people find new interesting, beautiful places. So that a person opens the Google Maps and from photos and reviews understood whether to go there or not.
Google is doing great things to promote kindness to the masses, they motivate all local guides to conquer new peaks by giving badges, new levels and sending different mails about your added information. The latter is especially motivating. In a word, you enjoy what you do.
