[NEW!] All places on Google Maps available in meet-up location field

Hi Local Guides — Thanks to everyone who’s been submitting feedback about the meet-up site. We’ve made a few updates since the site went live, one of which I want to highlight today.

When we first launched the site, you could only choose a meet-up location that was listed as an “establishment” on Google Maps (e.g., restaurant, business). This meant that you couldn’t choose a location like a park or a monument as your meeting point. Starting today you can select any address in Google Maps for your meet-up location. Try it out by searching for places near you on the meet-up submission page.

Questions? More feedback? Tell us in the comments below.

Hello @HelloJess tow days ago i hosted a meet-up and it was approved but i didn’t add the specific place because we missed this update but i was telling my attendees with emails !! this update is very helpful thank you for sharing …
feedback: can we make the search form by country not by cities , this can help Local Guides to know the meet-up hosted near there cities too .
i hosted tow meet-up in tow different city, this image will show just one because the search was by cities not by country.

Hi @HoudaR - Thanks for this feedback. A few Local Guides have requested something similar, so we’re looking into ways we can make the search functionality more useful. I hope to share more about this soon!

Hi @HelloJess

Thanks for updating the feedback form.

In the previous time I missed understood on the Meet Up organize submit processing…

Few of those events not approved and show up in Local Guides Connect Calendar. I’ve created each events in Google+ community.

I’ve done few events in the pass, but it doesn’t match to the new Feedback form.

So I would like to ask you, could I post those events? If permit where should I post to?

Thanks & Regards

Hi @SamornT - You’re welcome to share you event pages here on Local Guides Connect in the “Let’s Meet-Up!” board. I would also encourage you to submit your meet-ups on our new meet-up site so that Local Guides in your city can discover it and register to attend.

Thank you so much @HelloJess Yeah for sure I won’t missed to submit my next meet-up event.

Awesome! But I realised the meet up link has some dysfunctions with the use of Mozilla Firefox as in picking a time for the meet-ups.
