Hi… I am Richard Ampofo from Accra, Ghana ,West Africa. I signed up on local guide in 2018. I had little idea on how to use the platform till i watched youtube videos and faq on google maps to guide me and it was very helpful. After i acquired much knowledge on how to use local guide i began to correct street names, add road names and also register businesses which were not on google map. Transport services such as uber … had no names of some areas in some communities, through the road namings i did it reflected on uber maps and i was very happy about that because it eased location finding in those areas.
