Why I joined the local guides.

Hello

My name is Mohamed Basiony

I live in Tanta, Egypt and I work as a doctor.

I would like to write about my experience with the local guide program in my small town Tanta , Egypt.

First when GPS enabled devices were introduced in Egypt, there was no enough information about local places or reviews.

At this point I was so frustrated because the lack of information , So, I decided to take a part in building this local data base on Google maps.

I started to discover what’s most important to people in their daily routine.

ATM’s , gas stations , pharmacies and local restaurants.

But the thing that I was most passionate about was adding information and reviews to local Hospitals.

This was because I am already a licensed doctor and I have some experience regarding the medical field.

And people in my country are eager for this kind of information.

I think overall , Google maps has increased our quality of life to a level that we can’t imagine how was the world back without it !
