RE: Artist, join our directory on My Google Maps
The purpose of the whole feature/project is still a bit blurry to me :)
Probably that's why I want to see its (beta) version in action prior contributing.
I have certain experience with contributing to places on google maps, that below is a screengrab from the last email gmaps sent me ;)
Could we achieve similar stats here? I really hope so!
I have no idea if we can achieve similar stats. If I remember well the only thing I once photographed was a dirty toilet in I believe München. If it comes to it I am not a google fan and the only time that map was used was by a friend two years ago in Italy. Well, it was not able to show the way.
I am wrong I shared more nonsense and just checked. Turns out I have 70.000 so you have more.
:)))
I recall there was a conceptual photo series of a known photographer who travels theworld and shares toilet photos :) So, probably you've been frustrated but I guess everything could be "treasure" in the eyes of a stranger :)))
We may achieve even bigger numbers, in terms of visits of some posts, but as there are many frontends, I doubt there is a clever or easy way to sum all those visits, so the stats will be lower than what they really are ;)
The pros and cons of web3 ;)
I use google maps navigation when traveling and lately, when driving even in the vicinity, as they warn about delays, road constructions, traffic police cameras, accidents, traffic jams, etc.
I liked the "Chronology" or called "your timeline", I think, but google is shutting down this feature in May. :(
Going worse they are. They will still keep my data but it will be harder if not impossible to me to access it... Not that I'm surprised ;)
My main pro camera doesn't have geo-tagging, so sometimes when I travel and visit many places in one day, it was very helpful to later check out the locations on the map... how much time I've spent, they traveled between points, etc. Too useful to be given for free, I guess...
