Why I love Google Maps and Connect

There were days when I had no one to ask for directions because the places I was looking for were either too small for the locals to take note or no one cares but Google maps would come to the rescue and that was when I became curious as to how most of the the “small” business are on Google maps.

That’s how my journey to become a guide started and I’ve not looked back ever. I started posting about places that didn’t exist on maps. Whenever I was going somewhere, I would for use Google maps to see my ETA, traffic and directions, even for places taxi drivers didn’t know existed.

I love Photography so posting pictures about places also ain’t a problem. I most often too, checked websites and number of businesses to see how genuine and true they are.

I could go on and on but in conclusion, Google maps saved me and I found out, individuals like myself helped make it better so I joined to make the world an easier place.
