Google maps is the only reliable source for navigation for me till date. I have tried some other providers as well but Google has been the only reliable source I could trust.
Although its pretty accurate but to some extent there are mistakes as well. well, that’s what we local guides are here for right?
I started contributing to google maps as a part time fun hobby while I was totally free from work or school. It got me hooked pretty soon. Me, being a photographer, click a lot of images of places I go to. Local guides gave me a platform to show those images and also improve the user experience simultaneously for a maps user as well.
This process also motivates me to up my Photography game and has also led me into writing reviews as well, which I wasn’t comfortable writing at all. Now when i review a Restaurant/Cafe and the business owner replies me back, I feel blessed to be receiving appraisal for my work.
