What does the Local Guides program mean to you?

Hi my name is Vaishakh .It has not be so long since I have been active in this local guide thing .I used to upload images when ever I am free and all .Then one day I got a message from Google u have been gifted a thing from Google map for reviewing us. I was actually shocked to read it .Then only i came to know about the things that’s the photos we upload are useful to so many people including me ,like I travel to unknown places just by looking the google map review and images uploaded .After receiving the gift i came to know more about it and the offers it provide for helping .After that I actively started participating in uploading images of restaurants and places I visit. But I am not having that many views but I guess more people will see my uploaded images soon .

Now this local guide program mean like a social service where I am able to help people around me by sharing my experience and reviewing about the places thet visit .Even one or two restaurants have replied to my comments i have uploaded and I feel happy that so many people are actively using these maps.Now i am happy that they have updated the map and now there is a option when we open itself to contribute and it makes people contribute without much struggle.

Thankyou google for providing us with an opportunity like this, I feel so happy and proud about it .
