Whenever I take my son for the walk or we go for shopping, I’m switching on the Google maps app and start exploring the area. I do it because my family is quite new to the local district: we moved here just 2 years ago. So for us it was necessary to find local places: shops, markets, parks, restaurants and etc. And then I thought that it would be very helpful to search them on the Google maps because I’ve done this many times before in different countries. But what surprised me most is plenty of outdated or incorrect information (might be that’s because Google maps not so popular in Russia and many people use another app developed by better known local company). I decided to make corrections and adjustments of mistakes I’ll find. For example what I’m started to look: Does this place still exist? Is it in correct location? What are the opening hours? Is there missing phone number in description? Or is it lack of the photos?
I believe my involvement would make life easier for tourists, travelers or local people who preferred to use Google maps. And I’ll keep going to explore more surrounding areas with my son and help people to live a better live!
