Sharing localization in real time with other's Guides.

Hello, based in today system we can't know how many Local Guides are in the area.

Thinking about that, I suggest that could exist an tool that will able the Local Guides see where is the others, a localization tool that show in real time the localization of others Local Guide's.

 

Obviously, only who want's to share his location appers on the map. And only of the high score local guides can have the tool (like, only if you are lvl 7, for exemple).

 

This how I imagine how it looks like in the app.Example that how the maps looks like when this tool are activated.Example that how the maps looks like when this tool are activated.

 

And when you click on the Local Guide icon, the public profile of the Local Guide will show up for you.

Hi @jonasplima I like your idea, this would help me to know where are the local guides of my city if they exist, and I'm sure of that. But, I believe it involves many things, including the people's privacy laws of each country.

Create an option like they have on Facebook where you can see the location of other local guides in your your vicinity. Of course each guide would have the choice to opt in or out of this

Hi @LowveldHigh,

 

Thank you for sharing your idea. I am letting you know that merged your idea with Sharing localization in real time with other's Guides since they are the same suggestion.

Buona giornata a tutti. 
Sarebbe interessante che google maps indicasse anche la presenza di Local Guide nell'area di ricerca.
Questo permetterebbe all'utente di poter ricercare eventuali contributi che la guida ha postato sull'area (foto, informazioni, recensioni etc.) ed avere un'idea più precisa della zona stessa.

Questo sarebbe ottimale per chi si organizza per un viaggio, conoscere luoghi e sapere cosa visitare, dove è suggerito pranzare (magari per provare cibi locali non pubblicizzati dal semplice indirizzo, etc) senza dover uscire da maps ed andare su altri fornitori di servizi verticali.

Inoltre la possibilità di inserire la disponibilità delle local guide a fare da accompagnatori turistici costituirebbe un plus non presente in alcun servizio attualmente disponibile in web

Grazie @nexus6it

Non semplice, perché prevede dei consensi a essere trovati (leggi privacy) ma comunque già proposta anche da altri. Se riesco a trovare il link lo aggiungo, così da unirla alle altre

Many of Google maps users don't know about local guides.

As LGs do a main role in Google maps making the map better people who use Google maps should be aware of the local guides who help them.

So my idea to add a list of local guides in explore tab and I think it will be a good idea for all local guides.

I suggest Google to add a list of local guides to Google maps.

Other than being aware, Is there anything else this list could help users?

 

Currently, the users can see the localguide profile from their review or photos they added. and once they are in the profile, they can see all of their contributions.

 

If there would be kind of a leader-board for a local area, then it might actually be more helpful. I would love to see where I stand compared to other local guides in my area. and it would actually motivate me to contribute more.

When a contact who has shared their location with you comes within a set range (e.g. a mile) show an alert so you know they are nearby and you can decide to meet up with them.

 

Other example uses:

- My wife knows when I am almost home from the office.

- I am near a friend during lunchtime and decide to have lunch together.
