Usually I checked google map’s comments to find nice cafe´ s and I think that should be the main reason people use it.
While traveling in Europe last year, I found something interesting.
The story was my phone was pickpocketed while getting of the escalator.I was very upset but needed to get myself together no matter what.After checking in, my friend and I searched the nearest Apple store on google map.Fortunately, it was not far away from us so I could buy a new phone and be back on track.
The next day I needed to go to the police office because I needed to file a case and get the document for my insurance. Here was the interesting part.The police office was rated 4.3 on Google map.Why would a police office be rated and had comments? I found out the reason after I filed my case.The police officer was familiar with dealing cases like mine.He looked exhausted but finished the document I needed in thirty minutes meanwhile theres were few drunk homeless people staying in the office.We asked the police officer how often tourists’ phones were taken and he said 20-30 cases per week.No wander the police office could be rated as 4.3.
Google map played an important in my trips especially traveling in Europe.It helped me not only collecting my lists but keeping my trip interesting and safe.I can share my experiences on Google map to offer people choices and solutions.Sharing information is the most important thing and the best thing I can do with Google map.
