How does Local Guides work

[vidhigandhi]

Hi guys. I am new here and wanted to explore this community as much as possible. I wanted to know how Local Guides work, make friends here and also explore possible opportunities with the platform. While writing this I was asked to choose a board and the first option is 'Feedback and feature requests'. Ehat dors this mean? 

Also if anyone here would like to take me through how this exactly works except writing reviews, as that's the only part I know.

Hello @vidhigandhi,

A warm welcome to the official forum of local guides. Connect is a place where you can ask questions about map problems, share story, give feedback to Google etc. Google moderators/ Connect moderators are to help you in correct direction & solve your problem other local guides can help you too. Be sure to explore the many sections of the site and check out the conversations happening among our Local Guides. 

Tips for getting started:

• This section of the site has some good tips on how to use the community and interact with your fellow Local Guides. 
• Search the community before posting as others may have asked your question (and received an answer) already. 
• Use a descriptive title for your post to make it easier for people to know whether they should open it. 
• Use the Location field to geotag your post to a specific place, but make sure its important to the content of the post.  
• Don't share personal information on the forums, check out the private messaging option instead. 
• Here you can learn more about using local guide connect. This is our help center.

Hope to see you around.
