Nice discover today during a Meet-up lunch. Now you get one more point for labelling a dish on Google Maps

Did you have already seen it?

I think is a new feature that just started to roll on @AdrianZ

I love this improvement.

Btw, it seems that I was the only Local Guide in the meet-up to have this already activated

I will test this as soon as possible… Which should be in 45 minutes or so :grinning:

[Edit after 45 minutes: nope, still not rolled out for Belgian LGs it seems]

Probably still rolling out to different geographies. I don’t see it yet when I tag a new photo upload. Hopefully the next few days.

This is a good feature to know what is what, especially food and drinks.

New points for us: if you add a caption when you upload a photo, you get 1 extra point :smiley:

I really love this feature, because I’m pretty sure someone asked with an Idea, so this is another great Idea implemented, and because is going toward quality on maps!

Thanks for this info @LucioV I found this morning that my point total had magically increased by 1200 points and was wondering why. This is good news as now I have even more incentive to add remarks to my photos. I still have almost 11,000 points to go to reach level 10 and even those one pointers help.

Regards, Koby

You are welcome, @LucioV

There are a lot of new improvement.

Last Friday a was changing the name of a business, on Venice Airport, and maps asked me if it was a simple change (wrong name) or a different business. Confirming the second option, Maps did simultaneously the two steps. Closing the old business and opening the new one

Nice, isn’t it?

I have no idea @LucioV .

Could be.

In any case I love it.

There are a lot of new improvement.

Last week I closed a place, and maps asked me a photo for verification. I sent the photo and the place have been closed in 24 hours

I have also seen that name change/new business dialogue and noticed something strange: the language of it seems to be dependent on your location at that moment: when I’m 'n Germany it is shown in German, in Belgium in Dutch and when I was in Poland it was in Polish. And all the time I had my Android phone with OS in Dutch.

But I fully agree: amazing new feature, especially the automatic closing/new POI.

Yes, I just notice this. More incentive for LG to contribute in many ways.

Seems that this additional points are not added, at the moment. Can you confirm @ErmesT ?

Is this Italian? Foto, offerta con tag? And its stated 1 point for caption, why does the graphic read 4? And fotos are 75?

did not happen to me yet maybe in future :slight_smile:

thanks for sharing

Hi team, news in the implementation of this points? Thanks!

Still no roll out in my area.

Forever waiting.

Thank you @LucioV for the pointers.
