Local Guides will star in Google Earth Voyager

Googler

In honor of Earth Day on Saturday, we’re kicking off an exciting collaboration.

The new Google Earth Voyager features interactive stories from partners like National Geographic, Google Arts & Culture, and starting this week, Local Guides too.

 

Check out our first list: Amazing Urban Gardens, which highlights both passionate reviews and beautiful photos from the community.

 Costantino ContiCostantino Conti

Over the next few months, we’ll continue to curate lists that highlight contributions from Local Guides like you. To showcase the best places, we want to hear about local discoveries that you think deserve global attention.

 

Topics will cover nature, culture, travel, and history. So whether it’s a gorgeous bike path, an unusual hike, a beautiful street, or a hidden sculpture garden, make sure to share knowledge about your favorite places on Google Maps and post them here... or to your go-to social channels using #LocalGuides.

 

So how do we choose who gets featured? For Voyager and official social channels, we're looking for Level 3+ Local Guides who write thoughtful reviews, and take beautiful photos that accurately represent places on Google Maps.

 

See our community policy for more tips on how to stand out.

Hi @AlexV: I would like to share the Taiwan National Park with you for this project. I was trying to upload pictures in the comment, but it didn't work as I upload photos in other replies. So, let me share the link to my reply in another topic. Here are some of my art. https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos-and/Show-your-National-Park-photos/m-p/21655...

Awesome project!  There is one location that doesn't get nearly enough love for the amazing scale and importance that it represents.  Chaco Canyon historic site should be one of the Wonders of the World!  https://goo.gl/maps/zfJHJwzzR1k    The last time I went there, (thinking it was my first time), we pulled up to our campsite and I noticed a rock, just a rock, that for some reason I knew I had seen before.  Anyway, dismissed the feeling to concentrate on setting up camp and starting the festivities.  It wasn't until I got back home that I found a picture from my childhood (I must have been 3 or 4 in the picture).  The photo was from almost 15 years earlier, and was a photo my parents had taken of me and my baby brother sitting on a rock at a campsite in Chaco Canyon.  Yup, THAT rock.  Turns out, I've had the same campsite BOTH times I visited Chaco Canyon, and didn't even know it.  If you've ever been to Chaco Canyon (near Farmington, NM, USA) you may know how spiritual a place it can be.  That moment proved it to me.  Hope you enjoy the anecdote, and hope to see Chaco Canyon given some love in this new Google Places effort!

Earth gives us always surprises. Breathtaking scenaries of nature can be captured only in the remote places. Himachal Pradesh in India is one such place which is closer to nature. Snow covered mountains; chill weather; green valleys; chill river flowing towards south-east of India; nature; flora and fauna etc., gives a fresh feeling to the visitors.

 

The only request to all the readers, let's try to keep our mother nature intact. And plant and take care of atleast one tree in our life time.

Hello, Local Guides. I would like to recommend the 磺火捕魚 in Taiwan for Google Earth Voyager. This is a traditional way of fishing in Taiwan. The fisherman burns sulfur stone to emit strong light to attract litter sardines to jump up the sea and catch them. Check my post in the link. https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos-and/The-%E7%A3%BA%E7%81%AB%E6%8D%95%E9%AD%9A...
