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.
