Hi local guides I am Dipayan From India. For me the local guides program means to be a way to help others without expecting anything in return. Now a days maps has become a part of every ones life. If you have maps in your phone installed you shall not worry traveling to any new places. Millions of People are using the maps and are depending on the data available here. It is the local guides who are continuously providing information to the maps. Local guides are adding new places, reviews, photos and many other information to the maps to make it more and more reliable. If you are traveling to a new place and looking for a hotel or something to stay you can easily choose one by reading the reviews from the maps. Through the local guides program the local businesses are also getting benefit. In some medical emergency people can easily get the contact details and other information of the nearest hospitals and health care centers through the google maps. So being a local guide the responsibility is huge by providing correct information to the maps. I am a tea planter from North-East India and this whole area is a tea growing area. As tea growing areas are situated in remote locations I saw people here, when they have to travel somewhere for any purpose like health, education or anything they got nervous like where to go and how would they manage in a new place for the first time, so my intention is to provide more and more information to the maps through the local guides program so that people could get all the information of any location they want from home. The local guides program is a wonderful way to keep your impact to the world. And the localguides are nothing less than a hero, helping millions of people every day around the world.
