The main reason i got to be a google local guide was to be able to get location of cool spots i could hangout with my friends, and with google map i was able to find some places around me that i never knew existed and that is why i like the adding new places(Hangout spots) that are around people but not on google map so as to connect people to new places and get new experience like i did and also help at the same time to boost small business and also get more people to rely on using their google maps to discover new places, cause its one of the reason i got to be a local guide and its a beautiful way of also helping in your community.
