Introducing updates to the Saved tab on Google Maps

[KatieMcBroom]

From neighborhood spots to bucket-list travel destinations, people worldwide have saved more than 7 billion places on Google Maps. Many of you in the Local Guides Community have shared right here on Connect that this is an area on the app that you use frequently.

Even though life might look different right now and you might be shifting the type of places you’re visiting, we still see people using the Saved tab to bookmark places they want to explore in the future.

Over the next few weeks, you might notice a new look when you visit the Saved tab on Google Maps. The redesign makes it easier than ever to save and manage the places you’re interested in.

Recently saved places are organized at the top of the tab, helping you quickly reference a place that was on your mind not long ago.

With the Nearby carousel, you can see when you’re close to a place you’ve saved previously.

If you’ve chosen to turn on your Location History, the Saved tab will also surface places like restaurants you’ve been to before or a store you visited along the way.

You can read more about the updated Saved tab on The Keyword.

Local Guides, what do you think? We’d love to hear your feedback on the new and improved Saved tab in the comments below.

I can’t wait for the new look @KatieMcBroom

Nearby saved section looks interesting, it will be great using it when you have planned a trip and you don’t want to miss a place or decide which is the best option depending on your location.

Also its great to have our visited places organized in the Visited section, its an improved version of the timeline.

@KatieMcBroom this is an amazing update

Hey @KatieMcBroom ,

Thanks for sharing with us!

This is indeed a good development, especially with the ‘Nearby saved’. Last Sunday I decided to go out and try someplace new so I had to go through my ‘want to go list’ which was plenty.The nearby feature would really be a great filter for all of that!

[Cecilita]

I like this new functionality @KatieMcBroom ! I do not have it yet so I will be waiting for it anxiously!

I have 29 places saved in that section ready to be explored as soon as the lockdown in Buenos Aires finishes.

Only 29 sounds nohing in the big number of 7 billion, but those 29 are very important for me

Thanks!!

[AdrianLunsong]

@KatieMcBroom Oooh… I really like the Nearby Saved list to give me a nudge for a quick detour if possible! I usually save places but then forget to go to them! This should help a lot!

[doc_dells]

Hello @KatieMcBroom thanks for sharing this nice addition feature. This will help us to explore easily new location

A Nearby Saved list is a nice enhancement @KatieMcBroom . IT hasn’t rolled out here yet but I do look forward to the increased utility of the Saved lists.
