I have loved the overall experience of using Google Maps to find locations and decide on best routes. So improving this experience for others is my main motivation for being a Local Guide.
The first thing I began to do on Google Map was to answer questions about places. I have always opened the map to answer yes/no questions about several places I have been to. It has become an addiction and I do that often like I am playing game. I love doing this and I just did that few minutes ago.
Secondly I love reviews of places I have visited and support the reviews with pictures where such is available. I love to describe in details the location of the places, the conditions of the places, and all the information I think people need to know about such places. This helps people to make decisions on-the-go if they want to visit or not. I try as much as possible to give accurate reviews.
I do like to edit places on the map so that people will not be misdirected. I had been misdirected to places a few times so I had to help others not to suffer the same. I recently observed that a Petroleum Filling Station had changed their name but Google Map still had their old name so I suggested an edit and I believe they will effect the changes.
I have just started enjoying the idea of adding places to the map. I didn’t know how to do this for a while but it is interesting and I am looking forward to adding more places to the map.
To earn some point for what I absolutely love doing is even more encouraging and interesting.
Seriously, I want to learn to be more versatile in my use of Google Map as a Local Guide
