Found a Way to Access "Ask Maps" via Street View Studio!

Google Maps tips & tricks

I had long been hearing about Google Maps’ new feature, “Ask Maps,” and even received an email to test it out, but it wasn’t showing up on either my phone or desktop.

Recently, I accidentally managed to access it using a simple trick: open the Google Street View Studio website and click on any POI (Point of Interest). The map will then load with “Ask Maps” enabled.

Thank you, @khmansour1, for sharing your experience with “Ask Maps.” I found it quite interesting!

Is there some detail missing, @khmansour1? This didn’t work for me. I only see what looks like your third screenshot, but nothing happens when I click.

But I’ve briefly seen Ask Maps twice. I just got back from another overseas trip, and Ask Maps showed up while I was away. As soon as I returned to my home country, it disappeared again.

Hi @tony_b ,

The same happened to @M_Yones from Egypt. It seem it related to area and/or user! Google know.

Thanks, but can you explain about Google Street View Studio? Why am I not getting the response you got by clicking on places?
