I was excited to be a local guide for google. It all started by chance when I was searching on google maps and read the comments of local guides and then downloaded the local guide application. Then I decided to go through this wonderful experience. Helping others find places with ample information about them is great. So I decided to contribute to review the tourist sites that I visit in my country or around the world so that others can get enough information about them as I have added some sites such as cafes for example to google map with information about them.
This helped improve my photography skills and I have more passion in this aspect as well as I am doing something beneficial. My specialization in geography makes me more interested and may hone my skills more in dealing with maps and trying to make the most of them. Another benefit is getting to know and participate in a local guide from my country and around the world, as well as answer some questions and inquiries that some people ask for.
The contributing process in google maps enable it easier for users to search and navigate from my personal experience I was able to find many many tourist site during my travels I can explore a tourist location on foot saving my money, efforts and time by using google maps. For example, google maps help me find a specific tourist site that do not appear on tourist maps. Such information cannot be available even with the local tourist guides.
My specialization in geography and my passion for dealing with maps greatly motivated me to contribute to google maps and realize the importance of what I do. The local guides contributions provide google maps with valuable and specific information about the places the visit, which are taken from personal experience, which supports google maps credibility and importance.
I would like to thank google for giving me this opportunity. Thank you google.
