Exclusive: New Contributions tab for Local Guides

Former Google Contributor

UPDATE: We are now expanding this feature to all Local Guides on Android devices.

 

Check out your new contributions tab

We know you love to make the map better — and now you'll always know what to do next. Level 4+ Local Guides with Android devices now have access to the beta version of our new missions feature, which shows you where and how to make the biggest impact. You’ll see two new cards on the Contribute tab:

 

  • Uncover missing info: Find places nearby that need information most, like hours, website, or photos — and the best ways to snag more points.
  • Check the facts: Verify information that other people suggested about places nearby to make sure we always show the right stuff.

Venture outside or research online to complete your “missions.” Either way, you’ll know where your help is needed most. And yes, you earn points just as you would normally. We can't wait to hear what you think. Happy exploring!

  • This Beta is only available for Android users.

  • You may need to restart the Maps app
  • EDIT: This feature is still rolling out to Local Guides

@IvanLondon Please post feature requests like this in our Feature Requests and Feedback board. Its difficult for us to track and respond (and makes it harder for others too) when these comments go off topic. 

Level 7

@Corrie Thanks for the helpful tip. I've just moved my post to that Feedback board.

Level 4

I am very excited, will this be on maps.google.com

 
Level 5

Like! Looks like its not ready for web yet. But find it good while walking around. While be testing it!

Hi Team,

 

First of all thanks for this update, this is very helpful for giving the missing info of a particular place..without searching which place needs info..

 

One small suggestion from my side is that if there is an option to given in desktop similar to mobile app it would be more fetching to the contributors who are updating through web versions.

Hi Corrie and the Local Guides Team!

 

I loved this feature, but I feel there should be more categories when adding a new place (or maybe is it a language issue? Im using it in spanish).

 

I tried to add a park and a library, but there is no category for them.

 

Thank you very much and keep up with the good work.

I can't wait for life to get on track for my family. Because this is so much fun. 

We had some issues that have left us in transition and relocation. (Great for me and my maps)

But the future can only get better from here.

I'm loving this Google Local Guide program.  I can't remember when or how I got into it, but It's cool!

The only thing I'm apprehensive about is doing public reviews.  I have a Google+ page with my real full name on it.  Rather be incognito. Any suggestions?  

Spoiler
So is everyone now got the beta version on their android phones??  I can't live without it, it's awesome.  I even have a contributor shortcut widget on my home screen.
