2022
I use maps all the time even where I live to get fastest route through traffic. But I also use it a lot to preview and plan an area I'm going to help decide where to park or potential shopping ideas with my wife if we're taking the afternoon off, for example. I live by and rely on other guides and user comments when choosing businesses/places to visit. I find Google maps reviews to be among the most honest and unfiltered reviews; so I try to provide real feedback when the experience exceeds expectations or warrants comment or warning of a poor experience. Thanks to everyone else for making it great, I'll try to continue to pay it forward too!
As such - my main "thing" is to report unreported good places that I hope others will get to enjoy.
