Google Mall Directory: A cool feature from Google Search widget

[JedR]

Hello Local Guides,

I've just noticed a cool feature from Google Search bar widget in Android. I do not know what is the exact name of this feature but is something related to a mall directory (see pictures below).

A link at the bottom of Google Search bar will appear when you're at a Mall (of course you need an internet for this). It seems like the data of listed stores are coming from Google Maps. But I think that every physical stores are NOT yet listed in thatpage. As a local guide, can we do something to update or to list down all stores inside a specific mall? This will be more convenient for those who are not familiar to a mall.

 @YanniY @JeslynL @GusMoreira can I get your thoughts on this?

Hi @JedR

Nice idea actually.

Getting a list of all the stores in the mall may prove to be very beneficial.

I hope Google team will soon implement this idea in Maps.

Hi @AnuradhaP, 

Maybe it is not yet available in your country.

Hi @AkmalB,

Did you confirm if all stores are listed?

Hi @JedR,

This is a Google Search app feature released last month.  When Google Search located you in a mall with Google Indoor map, it will show under the search widget as your screenshot.

@AnuradhaP, you may check out any mall in your country with Indoor map feature.  If you are in the listed mall, the widget will show up.

@Brett Unfortunately that feature is not available in Sri Lanka.

@Lakshay Thanks! I believe this feature will improve on the next days or months.
