New: add comments to places on your lists

Former Google Contributor

March 12, 2018: This feature is now available on Google Maps for Android and desktop. We’ll post an update when it launches on iOS.

 

When you create public lists on Google Maps, you can show visitors the best places to go in your city. And now, you can make your lists even more useful by adding special tips and comments about each place.

 

Here’s how it works:

  • Create a new list, or open one you’ve already made
  • Tap the pen icon to edit your list
  • Add your comments to each place, then tap SAVE


Caption: Two mobile phones displaying (1) how to add comments to a list and (2) a published list with comments.Caption: Two mobile phones displaying (1) how to add comments to a list and (2) a published list with comments.

 

You can use comments to say why a place is on your list, to explain the difference between places, or just to give extra tips. Be creative! It’s a chance for you to make your lists extra personal and fun.

 

On a list of local shops, you could mention the best things to buy at each one. A list of nearby museums could include comments telling visitors about your favorite exhibits. If you’ve made a list of your city’s top ramen restaurants, you could say which ones specialize in spicy or mild broth, or have thick or thin noodles.

  

After adding comments to a list, go to Sharing options and choose Public so the world can see. Then, share the link here and post it on social with #LocalGuides.

Help!!! @LawrenceNYC I have reported this issuesometime ago:

The comments on my lists are not saving when I click SAVE the comments disapear.

 

Sometimes they get saved then disappear.

 

@BruceDM  this appears to be a remnant of the recent "No Reviews" issue.

@LawrenceNYC  my New York States Parks list refuses to save my comments and it won't import my reviews when I save them. I have tried to saved them from my original reviews page then write a blurb and try to save but loose my work. 

 

Then I try to add it from within the list using the + sign, write my blurb and again it won't save.

Here you will find some fascinating places in my town and Urbino, the town where I have studied at the university. In these places you may relax in open air, discover part of the Italian history and culture and enjoy a tasty dinner at the restaurant or outside while watching the sunset.

Before your trip it’s worth knowing that Anakkara(Kerala) is essentially a dry state, and while you can drink the toddy – a locally brewed coconut wine in a Backwater Restaurants which is also have traditional tapioca with Green chromide (also known as pearl spot cichlid)  – it’s best to do it like the locals and lay off the booze.
