Have you ever taken a screenshot of a cool cafe, an amazing view, or a place worth visiting, and then lost it in the depths of your camera roll? :weary_face: Youā€™re not alone!

But hereā€™s the good news: Google Maps, as recently announced on X, has a brand-new feature designed just for you! :round_pushpin:

Screenshot-to-Saved Places is here!

Google Maps will now automatically turn your location screenshots into a handy list of saved places. Finally, you can easily find and revisit those hidden gems!
This is perfect for planning trips, remembering recommendations, and organizing your travel inspiration.

How it works:

  • Screenshot a location from Google Maps.
  • Google Maps recognizes it and adds it to your saved places.
  • Access your saved locations anytime, anywhere!

Currently rolling out in the US (English, iOS). Android users, stay tuned for the update!
Get ready to turn those screenshots into travel plans! :world_map::sparkles:

Hi @Erna_LaBeau , this new feature is gradually being released in the USA and at first only for iOS (iPhone users), and then over time it will be released for other countries and also for Android users. So we just have to wait a few weeks. As of today here in Italy still nothing!

However, this is an update of the Google Maps app, where within your favorites there will be the new ā€œScreenshotā€ section and from here, thanks to Geminiā€™s AI, Maps will be able to find the location of the screenshot on the map (for this it uses, for the moment, the recognition of the text present in the screenshot) and will offer other interesting features later.

Bye,
David
