Why I contribute to Google Maps?

I have been contributing to Google Maps for quite sometime now and at first I just love to add places that I’ve been going to into the Google Maps so that I could earn points to go into the next levels but then that interest gradually became on helping out other travelers like myself. Whenever I’m on the road both inside the country or out there in another country I always look into the Google Maps and what other people have to say about those places, mainly for safety purposes since I’m a solo traveler. However the maps have helped me a lot from bogus cab drivers, tour guides and other local people who had tried to give me wrong directions or wrong descriptions on the places that I am travelling to.

With Google Maps travelling has become more interesting and fun.
