In preparing my Connect Live 2019 application, I asked myself “why am I proud to be a Google Maps Local Guide?”.
First of all, I love Google Maps because I use it to find points of interest all around me, where I’m going or want to go, and it’s easy to find anything from parks, resorts, businesses, restaurants, movie theaters, coffee shops, etc. On top of that, Local Guide reviews help me understand what makes a certain location so special, what to expect, and how to make the most of my time and money. It’s like having a friend, a local guide, in every country, state, city and town that’s able to tell you the low down on all the hot spots, what to do and where to go. And the pictures help you visualize their shared experiences, whether it’s helping to find the outside of a business, the inside of an amusement park, the menu or picture of a dish at a restaurant, or the inside of a hotel room and amenities like the hotel pool and gym. Its like an inside look at all these POIs to help you make a better decision on which locations you want to go, what to order and what to do.
And that’s what makes me proud to be a Local Guide, because I know how much I appreciate fellow Local Guide’s ratings, reviews and pictures, that I like to share my personal experiences on Google Maps so that I can share my experiences and recommendations with others. For that, I would love to attend Connect Live 2019, learn more from and about other Local Guides and their contributions, and how we can help make Google Maps better for everyone in the world looking for advice on where they want to go and what to do.
Hope to see you in San Jose at Connect Live 2019!!!
