× I have never found interest in learning about locations or topographies.

✓ I have never found interest in learning about location or topography.

The nouns 'locations' and 'topographies' are plural, but in this context, the singular forms 'location' and 'topography' are more appropriate as general subjects of interest. Using singular forms here correctly refers to the study of the subject in general.

× Whenever we need to read somewhere, then it's the Google Maps that are beginning.

✓ Whenever we need to find somewhere, then it's Google Maps that we begin to use.

The phrase 'need to read somewhere' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'find' when referring to locating a place. Also, 'Google Maps that are beginning' is ungrammatical; it should be 'Google Maps that we begin to use' to express the intended meaning clearly.

× Is the shipping industry seafood use geography.

✓ The shipping industry and seafood industry use geography.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. It seems to attempt to say that the shipping and seafood industries use geography. Correct sentence structure and conjunctions are needed to convey this meaning properly.

× We did have a geography as a subject in school, so I did all my basic learning about geography then, but I have not been able to go into the advanced section of it.

✓ We did have geography as a subject in school, so I did all my basic learning about geography then, but I have not been able to go into the advanced section of it.

The article 'a' before 'geography' is incorrect because 'geography' is an uncountable noun when referring to the subject. Therefore, the article should be omitted.

× I did not see myself as a teacher much rather as a geography teacher.

✓ I did not see myself as a teacher, much less as a geography teacher.

The phrase 'much rather' is incorrect here; the correct expression is 'much less' to indicate a stronger negation or lesser likelihood.

× I do like to travel a lot, so I think that would be very useful when I am visiting other countries.

✓ I do like to travel a lot, so I think that would be very useful when I visit other countries.

The use of 'when I am visiting' is less natural here; simple present tense 'when I visit' is preferred to express habitual or future events in this context.

× So yes, I would like to understand more about geography of other countries, but only when I am visiting them or from practical experience of having already travelled through it.

✓ So yes, I would like to understand more about the geography of other countries, but only when I am visiting them or from practical experience of having already travelled through them.

The definite article 'the' is needed before 'geography' when specifying 'geography of other countries'. Also, 'it' should be 'them' to agree with the plural 'countries'.
