Re: how to start??

Hi there and welcome! We have a board specifically for "Getting Started" that has a lot of great discussions about how to get started. Take a look around the board and let us know if you have more questions. For now, I'm going to move your post to the "How do I?" board

 

I also recommend checking out @CorrieD's tips which will help you to navigate the community and use features such as search which is super helpful for finding quick answers. 🙂

What we, the Local Guides, do is purely a volunteer work (with small perks like Google Drive upgrade in return) 

 

I, for one, find requesting money (or even accepting what the owner happily offers) for adding his listing to Google Maps, to be wrong on different levels. 

 

What's your take on this, @TraciC

Totally agree on the no money or compensation issue. The job is voluntary.

Hi,

 

Just tap the location you know from your map apps on your phone, then give review about the location, if you residing in Dhaka, most of the place is already mapped by mapmakerbd team 🙂 You can share photos but not selfie 😞 which can help people to get idea about the places 🙂

Local Guides contribute to Google Maps as individuals and should not accept payment for their contributions, which should be fair, balanced and unbiased.

 

Organizations, brands and businesses are not eligible for the program. If you are accepting payment for your contributions, you could be seen as an organization, brand or business and would not be eligible to participate in the program, per our program rules.
