I am Rotarian Arul Prakasam.T (LG early member); reside in a locality very near to Chennai International Airport.
Keeping Mr.C.N.R.Nair as my mentor, I continue with my journey as Google Map Maker since 2009.
I was much attracted with the manner and method of contribution by Mr.C.N.R.Nair which has resulted in as a driving force in my involvement to compete in the field of contribution and to stay ahead as a leading and outstanding Google Map Maker. I continue with this spirit in my activities since entry in the arena.
As a resource personal, I had the opportunity of participation in the Asia Pacific Regional Map Maker Conference held at Hyderabad, India in 2012. This conference provided me series of opportunities to meet and exchange views with several participants of my home country and abroad.

Hola @RtnArulPrakasamT , felicitaciones por todos tus logros, son increíbles, lamentablemente el programa de Map Maker, ya cerro y actualmente todas las modificaciones y solicitud de agregar sitios, solo realizan por medio de Google Maps, tu pudiste utilizar las nuevas características de Google Maps para añadir rutas y lugares nuevos en el mapa ?.
Para el caso de que ya pudiste utilizar estas nuevas características de Google Maps, cuales son las que a ti te gusta agregar en Maps?
Saludos Farid
