Hi Corrie! Thanks for the intro guide. This format makes it easy. 😉
Hi Everyone,
Here's an intro from me:
1) I have a passion for maps. I love the immediacy of the sharing in the Google Maps app, the ability to put markers where they should be (close to entrances, where people can access a store or restaurant, versus in a street or parking lot).
2) I love pointing out great places to my friends, adore culture, and this provides a global forum for sharing and learning from others!
3) Supporting local, small businesses is so worthwhile, and I hope this program helps the gems out there become more visible.
