You're on a roll - 456 week contribution streak

Hello everyone.

I’m Ermes, and I’m sure many of you have already seen me here on Connect.

I’ve been a Local Guide since end of June 2016, on Connect since October 2016

You probably know me for my initiatives, or because I have commented on some of your posts.

I’m also an active Local Guide, and just last week I hit my record of 456 uninterrupted weeks of contributions to Maps.

This means that from the beginning of July 2016 to the end of March 2025 I contributed at least once a week in Google Maps.

I’m not a big fan of points and views, but I think that the contributions of Local Guides are important for everyone who uses Google Maps.

I like to add photos of the places I visit, and write reviews that can help those who want to go to the same places. But my favorite contribution is adding roads. At the moment I have added more than 90,000, and they have obviously contributed significantly in getting me closer to the million and a half points (which I hope to reach in a few days).

How about you? What’s your way of contributing?

Would you like to share your streak and tell us how you got it?

Ciao Ermes,

credo che questo numero, 456, sia in assoluto l’unico che mi ha effettivamente fatto fare un salto sulla sedia.
Direi che è praticamente impossibile replicarlo ma anche solo avvicinarsi.

E’ un numero che si può verificare o di tanto in tanto arriva un aggiornamento?

Ti mancano meno di 3000 punti (ore 20:10 il mio bot mi restituisce tutti i dati giornalmente) e, come hai detto, è una questione di giorni.

Mi sa che si farà una doppia festa: 1.5Mli e 100.000 !!!
Festeggiamo?

Ciao
Marco

Thank you, @NituSingh , @AjitThite
As you know I believe that what we donate is coming back double.
And being an avid user of Google Maps I am happy to contribute for a better Google Maps

In realtà io so che anni fa c’era una Guida Locale, @PaulPavlinovich , con uno streak di due o tre settimane più lungo. Ma se non ricordo male durante il COVID ha saltato una settimana e lo resettato.

La seconda che hai detto. A me è arrivato l’ aggiornamento oggi nella mail che riassume i miei contributi di Marzo.
La mia speranza è di arrivare al milione e mezzo per la fine di Aprile (anche prima, se Maps riprende ad approvare le strade) e di festeggiare le 100.000 strade a assieme a Giugno durante l’Euromeetup

Thank you @ErmesT for contributing to Google Maps at least once a week for nine years. All of us local guides should contribute to Google Maps at least once a week, if not every day.

Kudos! This kind of accomplishment encourages us to do better.
Earlier, I contributed mainly by adding and editing places and answering questions. But since last month, I started mapping roads and found it really interesting. So far, I’ve added 490 roads.

I haven’t received that streak email yet, but I think it would be a fairly good number. Recently I’ve been trying to add at least one small contribution per day, but a little while back I was always ensuring a whole week wouldn’t pass without adding something to Maps.

I have a daily chart where I record what I do - a photo or video per day (sometimes both), a review at least once per week, Answers almost every day, Edits when I see something needs editing, And in the past year I’ve been doing a few roads nearly every day since first joining TRAC under the excellent guidance of @SholaIB and @MarcoDavoli.

Congratulations, your contributions are totally impressive.

This is my streak:


And how did I get it? It’s quite simple, I try to improve Google Maps every day by editing places, adding or improving roads and occasionally sharing a review of a place I’ve been to.
