Rolling out now! Explore new places you’ll love with these Google Maps updates

Google Editor

Last month, we announced that Google Maps would be getting some exciting updates—including lists curated by the Google Local Guides team. Those features are starting to roll out now! Here are three updates we think Local Guides will love.

To find the redesigned Explore tab, open your Google Maps app and swipe up. Alongside trending lists made by Google, you’ll be able to spot lists by the Google Local Guides team starting in 17 cities: Bangalore, Berlin, Chicago, Dallas, Jakarta, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Moscow, New Delhi, New York, Paris, Rio, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Seattle, and Tokyo! Use the comments to post lists you find, and tell us what you think of them.  Caption: A gif showing the "Your match" feature on Google Maps.Caption: A gif showing the "Your match" feature on Google Maps.

 

2. A progress bar to keep track of places you’ve visited on featured lists - Android

Love a list in the Explore tab? You can see how many of the places you’ve visited--just make sure to turn on Location History. Follow all your favorite lists and try to visit every place on them so you can share your experience through ratings, reviews, and photos.

 

3. Your match - Android

Tap on any restaurant and you’ll now see how closely it fits your preferences via Your match. The higher the percentage, the more likely it’s a place you might like. That’s because the algorithm takes into account things like your ratings of similar places, so keep it up to improve your matches. You can also find top matches quickly via the new For you tab. It shows places you might like near you, and lets you follow other neighborhoods you care about, too.  

To access the newest features as soon as they’re available, be sure to consistently update your Google Maps app from the App Store or Play Store. For an overview of all the new features, check out Google’s official blog, The Keyword.

Herşey için çok teşekkür ederim. Kolay gelsin. Tüm yerel rehber arkadaşlara selamlar

E' complicata questa gestione, non carica nemmeno le foto, trovo tutto complicato.

Non capisco perche' devo commentare questi post delle 17 citta di questi local guide? Per quale motivo?

Per me fare recensione ed inviare foto direttamente su google maps e' molto bello e gratificante.

Non ho mai trovato utile questa sezione a parte delle Local guide sembra un social poco frequentato e non molto interessante. 🤔

Wat een prettige verandering! Ik was in Spanje, op het moment dat je bijvb een uitje wilt plannen komt er allemaal extra handige informatie naar boven. Erg handig, ik was er blij mee 😎😉

I am excited to see new features, but truly DISAPPOINTED, in caputac letters yes that Canada has been excluded.

 

With all due resores, the city of Toronto is as International if not more oi for the city of Bengalore.   And Canada is almost as large as the USA.

 

I hope that decision will be reviewed .

Will some ice come also to Denmark?

One Big Problem:

 

I'm sorry, but I've got to say it - I am interested in things OTHER than food... I'm sure plenty of people would agree with this sentiment.

 

I don't understand how it is that Google can't use a persons Ad Profile to suggest:

 

  • Hobbies (biking/models/sports equipment/etc.) nearby
  • Fine Art/Museums nearby
  • General Entertainment (movies/arcades/mini-golf/etc.) nearby
  • Hiking/walking trails/parks nearby
  • Events (street fests/music fests/carnivals/fairs/concerts/etc.)
  • Tourist spots nearby

I'm so incredibly sick of seeing food places I'll likely never go to, given the locations tend to be 20 miles away...

 

Just saying.

I fully endorse with the view of @TravisCoble82 as to why such importance is not given to other places as much as that of  a restaurant !
