Thanks to @TusharSuradkar for starting this #GoogleMapsIconChallenge link to his post here. Looks like this feature is available on select cities. I was able to find 6 of them in San Francisco. Nothing as yet in my hometown of Mysore in India. Here are the Iconic landmarks on Google Maps and links to them.
Wow… the pictures are amazing @jayasimha78 and the icons too give a good idea about the place to visit ! This icons feature is really good specially for tourists who know which are the places they must visit in that city. You are right , however the feature is not yet present foe all the cities; I guess the big cities have them currently. I didnt kniw you are from Mysore ! I love Mysore and have been there so many times when we were in Bengaluru! Mysore has its own peace and tranquility. Its a city with so many historical sites tp visit amd is beautifully decorated during dasara ! Thanks for brinhing back beautiful memories of Mysore! Thank you for mentioning my challenge post. I am glad you found my post inspiring .Thanks to @TusharSuradkar for starting the challenge !
Cities with several places of historic importance like Mysuru, Pune, Ahmedabad should have icons.
Comparatively, Chicago doesn’t have anything other than the Willis Tower and the Cloud Gate where they have included regular places like museums and art institutes
Very cool @jayasimha78 ! I just realized I didn’t visit SF at all last year due to covid. Reading your post makes me want to take the BART and visit some (if not all) of these places soon.
I saw this after seeing @TusharSuradkar 's idea about adding markers to Pune - I had never seen this before, Melbourne has two - I can certainly think of a whole lot of others that should be there. I guess they’re landmarks of history?
I would think Melbourne Cricket Ground (MGC) would be the Melbourne landmark, and Flinders Street Station followed by The State Library and Melbourne Museum not to mention Birrurrung Marr as the most famous of our historic landmarks.
