Local Guides Card

My idea can be strange for some people. But I should write. I propose create Local Guides Card - like Press Card. Sometimes I have a big trouble when I want to take photos or videos for Google Maps. Of course, it depends of countries and cities. But in Ukraine (in Kyiv, capital of my country) I had many situations when it was prohibited to take photos. The store security wanted to call police. I would like to emphasize - it's no tipical situations. Ukrainian laws are very specific. I don't know about situation in others countries. Ukrainian Constitution says: people can collect all information. But law about information says: people can collect just some information. And security can prohibit to take photos and shoot videos.

Of course every time I explain who are Local Guides. I tell about program.

I propose to create Local Guides Card for 8-10 levels.

Hello @Ivi_Ge The Local Guides Card proposed earlier appear to be an outcome of the difficulty to deal with security personnels

BUT...

The one I suggested is to facilitate the Senior Local Guides to avail a subsidy in their bills in a similar way now & then Google announce perks in an incompatible situation / time slot while the Local Guides are preoccupied with their regular jobs/ businesses and are compelled to ignore the perks.

Well said @Dhanasekaran_Muthu

 @Manish_KV Thanks for understanding the proposal that benefits the Local Guides in recognition of voluntary services done by them. @Ivi_Ge generalizes the separate issues and merges everything into one basket for reasons not known.

This can better be merged with "Perks" if there is a discussion  on this topic!

As a University student, I am a local guide for a year now. I am level 6. As regarding to perks, why not give free pass to its local guides to explore places in your city. To capture photos of buildings or any tourists attractions, whereby you can write reviews too. Just a thought from a student, in Cape Town, South Africa.

Thank you for sharing your idea, @Clayton10. It is getting merged with Local Guides Card. You will find that a very similar idea has been discussed in that post so you can read the thread through to be updated on its progress. This will also help to avoid unwanted clutter.

Lorsque un contributeur google maps atteint un niveau supérieur d'expert, il doit recevoir un vrai badge qui peu emporter avec, lors d'une visite à un lieu ou il est interdit de photographier, ou simplement pour proposer à des propriétaires d'ajouter leurs établissements avec souplesse. Que pensez-vous !?

Hello everyone.. Today I believe was not really a sad day for me.Some places, people denied me access to take photos.A local guide I had nothing as a prove that I was really an agent.T-shirts and perks are basic.If there is a way we can resolve this then the better.

Thank you for sharing your idea, @Antobrix. It is getting a Perks label. That way more people who recognize your idea will be able to see it and vote for it.

Hi @Krishnabanoth,

 

This has been suggested before here - Local Guides Card. The topic already has an answer.

 

I will merge your idea there.

 

An idea about T-shirts already exists too - Give Local Guide T-Shirt as perk. You can vote for it, there.
