Hello World,
My name is Evangel a level 5 local guide from Lagos Nigeria. I am writing about what i love sharing the most on Google Maps.
I started using Google map in 2009 and this year makes it the 10th year. I have used it in two continents and it was really helpful. Navigating through different locations and adjusting to new environments would have been a nightmare without the help of Google Maps all these years.
The map has become an integral part of my daily life without which planning and movement co ordinations would have been impossible.
Although I started using Google maps since 2009, I became a willing contributor in 2015. Knowing what it feels like to be in an unfamiliar area in a city with no knowledge on the best routes or the way out made me get actively involved in sharing location insights on the map. One of my strength is my “love to share”. I enjoy sharing things, knowledge, ideas, fun locations, pictures…etc
.
I love to share things that will help people find their way anytime they try using google map in an unfamiliar area or in areas I have previously visited.
I also enjoy adding a new business address/location with pictures or editing a wrong address and most of all uploading pictures - that gives me good vibes all the time.
However, my all time favorite is the food!!! Locations with good food gives me the shivers and I get excited with the thought of sharing such places with the world. Google map helps also with my decision making when I intend to try out something new, seeing the type of food a restaurant serves when you are checking it out on Google maps is extremely helpful.
My most viewed picture uploaded on google map, which also happens to be my first is a picture I took in Ghana in December 2015. This was a picture of the Access bank Ghana head office.
It has over 31k views and counting. I feel so happy knowing the image I helped project is helping the world find their way. I feel fulfilled whenever I see an update on that post.
