What does the Local Guides program mean to you? | Connect Live 2020.

For me being a local guide is all about helping people out in any way possible.

With the availability of amazing tools provided by Google maps , I try my best to post the latest and up-to-date information possible.

As i have also encountered this problem in the past, to be faced with outdated/obsolete/incorrect information about any place or business, ending up with only waste of time.

Whenever i visit a place, be it a restaurant, i try to update it the best way i can, as i inquire about opening/closing timings, contact details, website/social media pages, make sure that the map pin is in correct position, clicking some snaps of the menu of the restaurant in order to help their customers, and in the end, my favourite part, Capturing Amazing photos of the place and posting them on Google Maps.

The local Guides program, for me, started out a fun activity, later turned into a hobby, and now has ultimately developed as my Passion.

By the end of the month, when i receive the Local Guides Monthly Email, on how much i contributed and helped people out.

For me, that’s just pure happiness and motivation.
