Sending comments to elements on Google Maps can sometimes work to your advantage, and now some participants in the Local Guide designation who are in the U.S. have received invitations to offer Google Fi service for free. Some Google Maps users may have recently received a notification that they are eligible for free Google Fi wireless service for the remainder of the year. Assuming receipt of the notification user this accepts an offer, then three months of free service for Google Fi coverage for $195.
The Google Fi promotion does not extend to all Google Maps users. There is a key condition for triggering the Google Fi offer, one must be a Google Maps Local Guide title holder, that is, a user who is active and has contributed to the community in order to receive the gift. The free service is offered to reward contributions to Google Maps and to thank them for complementing the navigation platform. This promotion may also motivate other Google Maps users to contribute more to this navigation application.
If you’re contributing content to Google Maps but don’t see any Google Fi promotions, it means you haven’t met Google’s eligibility requirements. The service also has a deadline, and customers who receive an invitation have until October 31 to decide whether to take advantage of the free Google Fi service.
However, the offer comes with some strings attached. While invitees can drop the Google Fi promotion at the end of the three-month promotion, they must be first-time Google Fi users to redeem the offer from Google Maps. This is an additional hassle for some people.
In addition, local guides in the international version of Google Maps do not need to wait for their Google Fi promotions because Google operates its Google Fi service in the United States.
Google Maps users who want to become a local guide can do so from within the mobile app, just look for the “Contribute” menu to get started. Content can then be added to Google Maps, including comments and photos.
