šŸ‡®šŸ‡³ New in India! "Featured Lists" now visible on Google Maps

Namaste Local Guides! :folded_hands:

Super excited to share that I recently spotted a new Maps feature in India - ā€œFeatured Listsā€ being shown on place pages. Yes, it’s live! :partying_face:

:pushpin: What’s new?
When searching for places on Google Maps, you might now see a section titled ā€œOn these listsā€, where curated lists by fellow Local Guides are being shown! I noticed it on the Tirupati Rushivan Adventure Park page - with a list titled ā€œOne Day Picnic Spots Near Gandhinagarā€ by @NareshDarji :green_heart:

:light_bulb: Why is this cool?
It makes discovering nearby spots a breeze, especially when planning a day trip! I love how it encourages exploring Local Guides’ recommendations and showcases authentic user-curated experiences.

:clipboard: The list appears prominently, right below visit timings and review summaries, helping people explore nearby options. It’s a win for the community and for map users!

:framed_picture: See the screenshots attached to this post.


:magnifying_glass_tilted_right: Have you noticed this new feature in your area?
:speech_balloon: Share your screenshots and experience!
:eyes: Let’s keep building lists that help our local communities explore more.

You’re most welcome @christophesubilia! :blush:

Yes, it’s interesting how this ā€œFeatured on Listsā€ section is now being rolled out and visible in India - a great way to discover curated experiences by fellow Local Guides!

Hopefully, it will roll out in Switzerland and other countries soon too where not available.

Thank you !

Bei mir werden die Listen schon eine Weile angezeigt.
Was noch dazu fehlt ist die übliche Übersetzungsmöglichkeit der Texte.
Wenn ich mir in Google Maps etwas aus anderen Staaten anschaue sind dort die Rezensionen auch übersetzt.

That’s such an exciting update—thanks for sharing! @KetanChhaniyara

The ā€œFeatured Listsā€ addition is a game-changer for discovery on Maps. It’s great to see Local Guides’ curated lists getting more visibility, especially for spontaneous day trips or themed explorations.

Have you started creating any lists of your own to make the most of this new feature? Please create and guide us.

Thanks for highlighting this @KetanChhaniyara

Seems like this is an old feature made new. I previously started making a few lists, but then Google Maps made everyone’s lists private. Now by your discovery it seems they’re becoming publicly visible again.

This feature is amazing @KetanChhaniyara

I just found out about it today! I also noticed another new feature: when I check cinemas in my area, Google Maps now shows the movie schedules. It matches exactly with the online booking platforms. It’s really helpful and makes planning so much easier!
