Changing the Point Calculation System for adding Roads

Hi Local Guides. Are you adding roads in Google Maps like me and @JanVanHaver ?

If so, please add your feedback.

After 500+ added road, my feeling is that the way maps give points for adding road need to be changed a little bit, considering also a measurable effort spent to add a road.

Maps gives 10 bonus points for long reviews (200+ characters) and I think the same logic should be applied for adding roads, because the time invested for adding a long road is much more than the one for adding a short one. Actually for each road we receive 15 Points

In my opinion it would be more appropriate to consider one of the following options:

  1. 10 points for each road added + 1 bonus point for every 200 meters of the same road. E.g. if I add a road that is up to 200 meters long I will receive 10 Points, while if I add 1 Km I will receive 15 points (10 for the road and 5 for the distance)
  2. Two different contributions in the contribution tab (like now for reviews and ratings) one for Number of roads (10 points) + one for Km added (5 points / Km)

Please share your feeling

@ErmesT  I also shared the same idea some time ago but I did not get any encouragement.

Well, not really, @KASHIFHussain18996 , my idea is different

While you are asking for MORE points, I am asking for a different calculation that, according to my example, can give us 10 points, instead of 15, if we are adding less than 200 meters of road, or 20 points, if we add 2 Km.

In this way our effort will be, in my opinion, better acknowledged
