Earlier this year, we announced a new feature that allows you to visit Google Maps and view your contribution page straight from Connect.

Now, we are taking it to the next level!To make it even easier for you to share your Maps contributions, we’ve added a link to your Google Maps profile to your Connect profile page, right under your badges.

This link is also visible to other Connect members, but you have the option to keep it public or make it private. By default, the link is visible to other Local Guides but you can manage the visibility of your Google Maps profile link by going to your Connect profile settings page and clicking on the Show Google Maps Link toggle bar. The toggle bar is located on the left side of the page, under your profile photo.
