HERE: How did you become a HERE Map Master?
Christian: I really enjoy mapping with HERE maps. When HERE maps Philippines announced the very first HERE map masters after the results of our contribution, we were thrilled with the results and I’m glad to be part of it.
HERE: Do you have any suggestions or tips for wannabe-Map Masters or aspire to eventually become a HERE Map Master?
Christian: Being part of the HERE community is fun and exciting, especially when you contribute a place that more people can benefit from it. Being one of the HERE Map Master adds excitement for me and sharing the experience with my colleagues and friends is the amazing part. I encourage each and every one to look for the local HERE Maps on their places/country and start to contribute and be part of it.
HERE: How were you introduced to the HERE Map and what was your first contribution?
Christian: During the program at Microsoft Student Partner, HERE Philippines team first introduce to us the HERE Map. From there, I was captivated to contribute to HERE Map since I love using a map with my Windows Phone. My first edit was our house here at Cavite and it was exciting, I found out that our subdivision has this site development plan and that I can use to map each of the house numbers to our place.
HERE: Who has impressed you in the HERE Expert Community Program, and why?
Christian: Sir Lonel Labit, I admired his dedication to HERE map. I remember when he first show us the HERE map platform, adding roads and points of interest on it. We were thrilled and wanted to contribute to it at that moment. (FYI – Lonel Labit is our Project Manager in HERE Philippines)
HERE: What is your best experience so far being a Map Master and in the HERE Expert Community Program?
Christian: The HERE Appreciation day! I remember that day when I was able to meet up with the HERE Map masters from other region here at the Philippines. We shared some great time and also our insights and experiences. I was thrilled when the HERE Expert Community team demonstrated to us the advance tools, automotive car and technology that the team use to gather information and map data around the country.
HERE: What are some of the areas of improvement which you would like to see in the HERE Expert Community Program?
Christian: The HERE Expert Community Program in the Philippines is an awesome community and I love their office. One thing that comes to my mind is for the HERE Map Masters in Southeast Asia to come together at an event or a conference. That will be great!
HERE: Final words/Your Motto as a Map Master
Christian: This is for you, the one who loves to travel, the one who moves from places to places and navigating from point to point. HERE Maps helps you to locate, connect and navigate with those places and things seamlessly even without using internet or data. Here Map is awesome!
