<p>The year 2025 not only saw Google Maps turn 20, but also the local guides program has a special birthday to celebrate, as it by now has existed for 10 years already. </p><p>Within the local guides community and on LocalGuidesConnect, the official forum, a lot has been organized for this occasion - and I would also like to contribute by making a podcast episode for this 10th anniversary of the local guides program, containing contributions from local guides worldwide.</p><p>Check out the shownotes on<a href="https://www.letsguidepodcast.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong>https://www.letsguidepodcast.com</strong></a>.
