What does the Local Guides program mean to me, the guy of the watermelon capital of Ukraine, Kherson

Hello everyone, I am Anton from Kherson Ukraine. Kherson is the watermelon capital of Ukraine, it is here that we grow the most delicious watermelons that are famous both in Ukraine and abroad.
At some point it became a hobby for me to take pictures of places I visited and add them to maps. Sometimes I was very surprised that some places do not even have minimal information about themselves.
Once I was processing a database of hotels on the Black Sea coast, I did it using the Google map service. It was a huge surprise for me that Many phones and information on the work schedule were irrelevant. So I decided to free of charge help the hotel business of my native coast with updating information on hotels and then managed about 50 contact details. Hope this helps them.


For me, this is a quick and useful exchange of relevant information about the places of companies and institutions that exist in a certain territory. This is especially useful when traveling to unfamiliar places. For example, when I was in Turkey for the first time and you do not know anything about local cuisine, localguides come to the rescue. Or when I rented a car in Madeira and making a route, you see a message that the road you were going to go came under a rock collapse. Without these and many other useful tips, traveling to unfamiliar places, long trips and other sorties would be much more difficult and not so pleasant. Thank you for the Localguides
