What does the Local Guides program mean to me?

Hi everyone!

My name is Mark, I live in Los Angeles, California, one of the most beautiful places all around the world!
Since I started using Google Maps, I realized how extremely helpful it is. You can find so much information there!
Among with photos, work hours, phones you also can see real persons opinions and their reviews, what is really important.
From the other side, using Street View only, you can just have a virtual tour anywhere around the world!
Guys, it is a magic which we could just dream of a quarter of century ago! I still do remember the ‘before the internet’ era!
That’s how I became a fan of Google Maps!

I started sharing photos and videos, posting reviews and answering to ‘Questions and Answers’ because I do believe that it can help someone to make right decision or just save some time.
When I see all those views on your photo or review, it always remind me how I looking for something on Maps, and when a picture shows me exactly what I was looking for, I am so thankful to person who posted that. I hope that those views helped people too.
Contribute on Google Maps is one of the ways how to be connected with people who you even don’t know. Be helpful to others, not for someone in particular, but for everyone ? Isn’t it the place where we want to live? where we want our kids to live?
I think Google Maps is building the Future World today.
Sharing and helping others unselfishly is the matter!
