Offer the quickest route through all places on a chosen list

When we visit to new places we search for top 10 tourist places or any places. Google Maps suggest us the places which we wish to visit .Why can't google refer us with which place will be near to me to visit first from my location and from their which place will be next nearest to me . And also in my 5-10 places list,  how many places i can cover in one day.

Hello @KishorMali 

You are right but you are not getting my point. My point is if u want to visit the places one by one from your location For example :-

Screenshot_20200328-231653_Maps.jpg

 As you can see in the picture I want to travel two places from my location i.e Richmond town and Nandi hills. The total time it would take me to visit 2 places from my location is 3 hours 16 mins and 141 kms. If I visit the Richmond town first from my location and from there I visit to Nandi hills it would be so long for me and it will waste my time.

 But, you can see in this picture if I visit Nandi hills first from my location and then Richmond town I can save my time and 27 kms.In the same way if I add 5-10 places which I want to visit . Why can't Google suggest me or add a separate feature in which it could suggest us which place I should visit first so that I can save my time .And how many places I can cover in a day without wasting my time. By this we can travel and explore easily .

I hope you got my point now.

Hello @SJasourH98,

 

We'll need a bit more information to fully understand your idea. 

 

If I'm not mistaking, you would like Google Maps to suggest the quickest route for you to see the places you wish to visit. In your latest comment you are showing two destinations in the navigational feature on Google Maps, and how you would like Google Maps to suggest the quickest route. 

 

Can you specify whether your suggestion is meant for Google Maps navigation like you're showing in your screenshot, or if you would like to see the feature implemented as part of the explore tab, where you could get a list of places sorted so by the quickest route to visit all of them?

Hello @MortenSI 

 

Yes, indeed you got my point .My idea is to have a feature which is implemented as part of the explore tab, where everybody could find a list of places sorted so by that everybody can find a quickest route to visit all places and save their time.

When we go to an unfamiliar place, we often struggle in communicating with others owing to language barrier. If we can get a feature where Maps suggest a route that could be taken for all the places Saved in our list, it would not only be time saving, but cost efficient too.

 

I shall explain with an example:
Let us say, there are 5 places in my “Saved” list which I need to visit today. I can definitely research about each place and make a plan for myself, however, it would take time. Or, I can ask the local people, but, If only I know the regional language or I am able to communicate anyhow (through translating options). All of these struggle could be saved if we get a “Suggested Route” feature from Maps.

 

It would:

  1. Help people who face Language barrier in communicating
  2. Be time saving for people planning a trip
  3. Be cost efficient, as it will remove the cost of hiring a guide/translator and booking taxis for each place
  4. Make a person self-sufficient for planning a trip

In conclusion, considering all of the above points, it shall build confidence and self-esteem among people who wish to travel solo and would make Google Maps a One-stop solution for all kinds of travel plans.
