This was the poster for our Walk It was a great journey to me
It was my first meetup as a host and I’m eagerly waiting for this walk. Thanks Google for providing me such an opportunity to explore the city with the fellow local guides. I was at the venue 15 minutes in advance waiting for others. Finally I found 1, Shaik Imtiaz Ahmed. By 03:15 PM, we were 5 and then we’ve decided to start the walk. While writing the names on I-cards, surprisingly more 7 local guides came at the place in no time. At that time, I felt this would be a great walk and I was dangling with joy.
We started introducing to each other, surprisingly we found a local guide Abdul Basith who is literally 16. Then all the others cheered him and greeted him to keep up the good work. I’ve started by giving a brief introduction of our local guides programme and shared current news about our program.
First we discussed what we're going to do
- Check and Mark the correct location of a place on map
- Report a place if it is permanently closed or duplicate of another place, if a place is spam (or) doesn't exist.
- Fill up all the details on map by asking the business owner, if some details are missing.
- Encourage the business people to add photos of their business on Google Maps.
- Sign up for Local Guide
- Crosscheck the available details of a business on Google Maps in presence of the business owner.
- Add Photos and new places
After all we got divided into two teams and started the walk, this will cover the maximum area. One team headed towards IS Sadan and the other towards Owaisi Hospital. (From the starting point Yadagiri
theater)
After this, all of a sudden more two local guides joined the walk. Now, we summed to 14.
The picture to the right is of Ammar Habeeb, his aim is to help others by his contributions on Google Maps. He is not an ordinary guy, he spend most of the time in helping people and the community. He is also an active member of an NGO in the city. His aim is to become an IAS Officer.
We encouraged and demonstrated the business people of Santoshnagar area, how to claim the business on Google Maps and how to add new pictures and how to write responses to the reviews given by customers.
Finally, we completed the walk by speaking some words about Google Maps, latest technology and demonstrated how to take 360 photos and how to connect them in a Google Street View app. Shared some knowledge about Google Maps. And some tips and tricks to take Photos.
After completing the walk we had some drinks at Swagath Restaurant.
We enjoyed a lot and had a great fun. Thanks for attendees for making this walk memorable and funny. Special thanks to Abdulla Rehan & Fuad Qureshi, as they were cracking jokes all the time and making the atmosphere awesome in both the teams. Had a lot of fun.
Thanks a lot for making our walk memorable. #BeingLG
