Hey everybody I'm Andrew and I live in Auckland, New Zealand.

I love that being a Local Guide gives me the ability to help the wider community through improving the accuracy and usefulness of the maps they reference. It is also pretty cool that information I provided months/years in the past can still be referenced and enjoyed today.

I most enjoy sharing reviews because personally I give these strong weightings when making decisions on where to visit or what to buy, and I often get feedback from friends and family that they come across my reviews when searching online.

I got into Local Guides through being active in the Google My Business portal at my job where I helped clients improve the visibility of their business locations in google maps. In my own time I started making edits and posting for businesses and places all over my city to make Google Maps better for everyone!

A fun fact about me is that I do yoga every morning and have been doing so for a number of years.

Here's me at a local Auckland restaurant, before posting a review and a photo of course!

Hey there, 

my name's Mike and I'm new to the Local Guides. 

I'm based in Munich, Germany. 

I love exploring cities in general and just stroll through them and looking at all the different little things you can find, to see new individual Cafés and Shops and Restaurants etc. etc..

With Local Guides I can share this information to such a broad audience and show my photographs and recommendations. I myself use google maps all the time to get to know a new city and have a look at the recommendations and photos to see whats actually "there". Since taking pictures is such a big hobby to me its good to share it on a big platform like google maps.  

That's also how I got into Local Guides, I was just looking through google maps as usual and at some point I got a notification and thought 'hey, that's cool I'm gonna do that'. 

I don't really have a fun fact - but I found it kinda funny that I used google maps forever and never heard about Local Guides until just a little while ago and now its going super great. 

Cheers Guys! 

Mike

Hello everyone,

My name is Eric and I'm new to the Local Guides.

I'm from France.

I like exploring cities, doing photography, finding alternative places and sharing them, for that i use Google Map on my travels.

Giving an opinion whether it is positive or not is a good opportunity for me to help people passing through my city, is what i also like in the project Local Guides.

I discovered local guides when I realized that a closed business was always noted on the map, I wore a correction and I got caught up in the game.

Looking forward to reading and discovering through you.

Best regards,

Eric
