The World is growing fast and so we are. The time has changed from visiting places with normal maps to google maps. This technology made life easier for travelers in the last few years. They can travel more places in a short span and can enjoy them and this technology not only helped us in this way but also helped us in a way to understand many things, Such as review of a place help us to understand the perspective of places from the point of locals to global visitors.
E.g. when we are visiting a new country and say you have diet restriction (atleast for me being a vegetarian), instead of visiting each place and asking you can read the review and can get to know about the kind of food and even business can post their menu and we can read review which helps me or others to chose best restaurant, best and economical or luxurious food based on preferences.
Google maps help a lot not only just getting the right directions to place but the technology is evolving and provide a lot of things, we can manage a business, read people reviews and can improve business, we can share photos, videos about the places so people can see the places and read about it before visiting. It’s not an industry-specific, it can be used for any purpose. Local guides help a lot in improving the Google map and work for their own causes from finding the best place to visit to food to shopping places based on their interest and the list is endless. You can be one of them, work for a cause and help others.
