The world is so big! Especially for a village man like me, several years ago.I come from one of the remote villages in Kenya, now working with farmers across the country, you can imagine how difficult it can be sometimes navigating through the landscapes/terrain as I move among the farmers.
What triggered this?
A few years back, I was looking for a place within Nairobi city (this City has really changed over the last 10 yrs). My starting point was Google map, I saw the place and I was sure I can easily navigate to my destination. To my surprise, the point in the map is in the middle of a busy Highway (Thika Superhighway), yet the actual building is on the other side of the road. How could this happen? How many people have gone through such? It was from there that I learnt how to edit, review and even add places and photos on maps.
Imagine a world where you are able to see place while seated behind your laptop or handset? Beautiful, right? That is why I will keep on contributing to Google maps to make it better for us all!

Hello @JdMsyoki ,
I’ve just released your post from our spam quarantine. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Our spam filters run 24/7 and can be a bit harsh some times.
You can visit this article to learn more - Why was my Connect post marked as spam?
As this looks like your application post for Connect Live 19, I have relabelled it to Local Stories to stick within the guidelines.
Hi @JdMsyoki ,
I have just released your second post from the spam filters. When a post gets caught by the filter, it’s better to wait for the team to release it, rather than post the same post again, as this will result in identical posts on Connect.
I will merge this post to your other one as they are identical.

@MortenSI , I did know both have gone through, I actually though it is a technical problem on my side.
If possible to delete, please delete the first one, and keep the second one.
Thanks
