This one, @user_not_found ?
Hello, @user_not_found
To unlock the fact-finder badge, you need answering questions related to “Know this place?”
Unfortunately, that feature is not available on the iPhone.
Nevertheless, there is a workaround.
Open the Google Chrome Browser on your phone & then search for the places you visited recently.
Then turn on the “Desktop mode”.
You will find a small panel on the right which emulates a similar page in Maps.
For many of the places, you will see the prompt “Know this place?”
Answer the questions & that would unlock the badge.

Many thanks for your help and reply.
A pity that this is not achievable on the iPhone as this is a good way of getting to the next level.
Many people have earned lots of points just by answering questions and some do this and not much else.
Thanks for your reply. I have an iPhone and I can’t seem to be able to “answer” questions.
But, in Google Chrome I can do the “Questions and answers”
This affects my ability to earn the badge.
Many thanks for your reply.
Still having difficulty with this.
I can’t find the “desktop mode” feature.
I am answering “question and answers”
but not “answers” alone so this has not unlocked the badge which is still grey in colour.
Hello @user_not_found
Thanks for the query.
Nevertheless, please use the tagging tool & then select the name of the intended person. That generates a positive notification.
To get into desktop mode, click on the three dots at the bottom. That will show a menu with the option “Request desktop site”.
Still, a better way would be to get hold of a Windows PC & then try searching the visited places in the Chrome browser. You will see a menu similar to Maps in the right corner.
Nevertheless, the best route would be getting an android phone of some close friend or relative.
Then you can switch account in Maps by clicking on the profile icon. Answer all available questions & then remove your profile from Maps.
Many thanks again for your continued support and help.
I’m determined to solve this one way or another.

Thanks for your reply. I am still stuck with this.
In the Fact Finder there is “answers” and it says I have 0/25.
However, I have been able to do “questions and answers” and get points for that.
What still remains is I can’t provide “answers” to unlock the fact finder badge?
I’m using my iPhone and don’t know if this is “the problem?”
SUCCESS!
I am now earning my points again for fact finding and moving forward to the next level.
Thanks again.
