Re: Introduce Yourself — November 2016

Hi @Danielv. I recommend visiting the Gmail Help Forum where a Googler or Top Contributor familiar with the product will be better able to assist you. If you run into any issues with your Local Guides account or have feedback, however, we welcome your post in the "Feedback and Feature Requests" category here on Connect. 


Note: Due to the volume of private messages Googlers receive, I do not read or respond to private messages. Please post publicly so others may benefit from your discussion. If you require urgent assistance, please tag a Google Moderator. Thank you!.

@DonikaS That's funny how you got the invite. Good luck with the Korean and Japanese. I used to know some Korean from my time in the army and years of Taekwondo. Now I'm in the process of learning Thai (and the Queen's English, which to this Texan is just as foreign as Thai.

Hi Everyone,

Location:  Kailua Kona Hawaii

 

What do I love about being a local guide?  I am going to start with our cruise ship Wednesday here in Kona.  I love hanging out a the pier and introducing Google app called Field Trip.  I hosted the app developer when he visited Kona a year or so ago.  Like Gmaps, it has many different possibilities, and content providers.  I live on a active volcanic island.  Its critical that our maps are revised.  The USGS quads were done over 20 years ago.

 

 We have lots of new roads, business, and people.  I love that I can add those visitor oriented business to google maps.  You should tell some others to look at Field Trip, very good on Hawaiian Cultural sites.The UnifierThe UnifierThe legacy.The legacy.

How did I learn about local guides.  I worked with the US Geospatial Agency, helping with our version of Google Maps in the early 1990's.

Always aware of my location, and whats happening around me, and in the world. 

 

Fun Fact about me?   I wear the color Red often, and i only drink coke zero, and have maxed out my mental storage facilities!

 

If your a guide, come and stay here.  Just connect with me!
