It was an amazing experience to be the part of The Worldwide Map Edit Walk Volume 2 initiated by @HelloSamsonR which already has expanded across the many countries.
This meet-up was also amazing for me since first time ever I was hosting any meet-up. I was really excited about how many people will actually turn out for the meet.
We were four LG who represented the city of Mumbai in this global meetup including me. Many thanks to Mr. Aditya Patil & Mr. Prodeep sir @Prodeep for coming all the way from Thane & Navi Mumbai (neighboring cities of Mumbai which is also considered very far due to huge Mumbai traffic). Also thanks to Shruti @Shrut19 who reached the meet-up Point on time.
We gathered at sharp 2 PM near Borivali Station in Mumbai and started introducing each other. After introduction, we discussed about Local Guide program and Connect platform. Since our new member Mr. Aditya Patil has not signed himself on connect, he has a lot query regarding this. I tried to sort out his queries during our meetup also.
After this we also discussed on what we are going to do today in this Map Edit Walk Meet-up. As this year’s theme was Uncover The Missing Information, we focused on the same.
- Check the location of places and correct the location on map.
- Answer questions
- Cross-checking the information, by confirming through business owner / or through signboards / or taking the visit card. We also collected numbers of visiting cards.
- Remove any place if it is permanently closed or duplicate of another place, if a place is spam (or) doesn't exist.
- Adding new places, if doesn't exist in Map.
- Adding good photos of the places.
- Also to make the owners aware about the google map and encouraging them to check the reviews and ratings of their respective businesses.
We did some Facts checking, questions-answering, information editing and adding the new places, which will sure make an impact in our community.
