Hi, I am Abdul Samad from Pakistan.
There are many factors that drive me to be a local guide, one of them was that once I was finding McDonalds in Lahore, the famous city of Pakistan, someone told me that you can find it (specific location) but when I reached the destination, there was not any building of McDonalds. At that time I decided to be a local guide, in order to prevent people wasting time and prevent them of excess travelling.
The other factor which drives me to be a local guide, was the function of writing reviews on Google Maps, I astonished when I see lack of Accessibility Features in restaurants, shopping malls and businesses. Reviews help me to aware businesses for the absence of accessibility information.
Google Maps also helps me to aware people about those restaurants which are having best tastes in the town, best coffee shops, and hang out places with kids or family.
