What does the Local Guides program mean to me?

I have been using google map since 2007 on PC and since 2009 on Nokia 5130 express music, then on android since 2013 until the point where I discovered the google local guild contribution program and I decided to join

I never expected any real rewards form he program but I loved the idea of me being a part of the development of such a great tool that use daily for various reasons, and going through various difficulties with this application over the past 13 years made me realize how the effort of the individual can effect so much life for the better

I didn’t count any numbers but when I started using google maps in Egypt, only 1 out of 100,000 people trusted the app and were able to use it despite its bugs, 13 years later, 1 out of 100 people trust the app in Egypt and I’m looking forward for the day that all mankind stop asking random people in the streets for directions and start asking google maps.
