What I love sharing most on Google Maps and why?

I love to share photos on google map. It feels like I am making little contribution and helping people understand how the place looks like. I can divide source of my photograph in two parts. Firstly, it comprises of photos clicked by me during vacation which is always out of Mumbai like places in Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Uttarakhand, Leh- Ladakh etc. During my vacation, I get an opportunity to explore different parts of India and enjoy the local cuisines. This helps me add photos/videos, write reviews and answer questions about these places. Generally, I spend lot of time doing research before charting out itinerary and google map does contribute in understanding the place I want to visit. So, it feels like completing full circle as once I am done with my trip, I make sure that I contribute whatever I can to improve google map and this brings in great sense of contribution. Secondly, I try to improve my local place wherein I add photos of newly opened bank, restaurant, under construction residential buildings etc. This, I feel is important considering ours a developing area unlike Mumbai which has already developed eco-system.
