My Name is Mahendra sharma.
I am an Engineer
I from State Rajasthan in India.
I belong to rural area and as india is a developing country ,rural areas very beind in progress and in development than developed countries.
I completed my primary study in rural areas .
And went to city (capital of my state ) for my graduation.
In indian education there are competition exam system follow up for every vacancy in government department.
So after i finished my graduation as everyone do i also planned to prepared for competition exams.
So i went to big city called Delhi (Capital of india)
Its one of the largest City in india.
That time i felt need of Google map very much and i started using it.
Untill than i wasn’t much aware about Local guide untill end of 2016.
Also as its a developing country so Data and its speed is a very big issue.
When i was at delhi than we installed WIFI set box connection and that time i felt speed of data.
As i went first time there so i was 0% aware about places there,way there, transportation there,.
I can proudly say "GOOGLE MAP " became my buddy(a guide) there.
From finding place to show which transport available to there with time and time travel.
I loved it.
It was going great.
I visited almost all historical places there only with the help of google map .
One day i had an exam at a place as always i searched on Google and found it.
But when i reached there i was shocked that that place is little far from actual place.
That time i arranged it and reached at right place.
When i came to room after exam, i thought something that i should inform google map about this place as it in misplace.
So i started to search "How to inform to google map about wrong information about place. Like that.
During that time
I found what is Local Guide and whats its work.
I determined to become a local guide and help other.
I thought other must not get trouble same as i got.
So i learnt from google and started to add new places, with photos, correct information, exact location with time,phone, and photos.
I loved it .
Whenever i go , i didn’t forget to take pic that place and add missing place details that time.
Soon i noticed my level going up.
I started to upload videos and 360 degree also by help of street view.
I loved it concept as it tooooooo helpful,and important.
Currently i am on level 7 and i still doing it.
I never face any difficulty because i always honest with my work, place,photos, because i know how much it important.
Only i faced a little issue in it.
When i add some place or correct its actual location
it not successful,
It says “Not applied” with no reason
Even i add real pics. .
If they told any reason about it than we can improve
If you know than please tell me why this issue?
Do you face it also.?
One other things
" We can not change Cities name even cleary it wrong spelled and local language translate also wrong.
Like one my nearby place name in english “Kuchera”. It should in hindi “कुचेरा” but it shown there “कुचखेड़ा”. It totally misspelled
But i couldn’t change it.
But other than personally i love it.
I proud to be a local guide.
