I just wanted to let you know that there are lots of ways to contribute that will help your community.
Contributing on Maps
The best ways to contribute and get points are
Add new places
Add meaningful quality photos to places
Edit places to update them to correct information.
Review and rate places you’ve experienced and tell us about them
Add photos to places you visit, most places deserve two to three photos, one of the outside of the place, one of the inside and perhaps a product shot. Some places may deserve more such as large stores, tourist attractions or cultural landmarks.
While contributing is a lot of fun and rewarding, I always caution people about growing in points too quickly. Organic growth a little at a time is always best. Those who shoot up like rockets sometimes are making low quality contributions and may have contributions removed with a subsequent loss of points.
For everything you contribute, always think to yourself, would I find what I'm about to add useful? If the answer is yes then go ahead and do it, otherwise think about holding back.
Never review places you have not personally visited or used.
Good luck in your journey as a Local Guide.
