I think everyone was in the situation, where the information on the map was not enough to imagine or be prepared visiting some place. There is so many aspects of every place on the map, for example, how expensive is food in some restraunt, where are best bartenders, which kind of payment receive a gas station etc.
And this kind of information I love to share most on Google Maps.
As a foreign student in the new country, it was a hard for me get all the information about places, as it was not enough data for the Locations. This way I found a Local Guides, where are people sharing, editing and adding informations and I’m proud to be one of them.
Answering questions for different places you’ve visited are really helpful not for youself, but for every person using Maps, because it gives full image of location you want to visit. It’s not just informative, but also comfortable.
