Cover Photo not related to Google Maps List

Hi all!

I want to share an idea that I think could be useful for people creating lists in Google Maps.

 

When creating a new list or adding a new place to an existing one, you always need to add a photo. A photo for the list and a photo for each place in the list.

 

Generally, when I am creating a new list, I want to show a particular aspect for each place in the list. For example, if I am creating a list with restaurants with spaces for children, I would like to add a photo to each place in the list that shows the children space. 

 

Sometimes it takes a lot of time to find a good photo that shows exactly what I need to show. If the place has hundreds of photos, I need to scroll through a lot of photos and it is difficult to find the right one. Most of the time, I have been to the place and I took the photo that shows exactly what I want to show in my list, but finding my photos becomes an impossible task.

 

Regarding the photo of the list is even worst because it is selected automatically from the first place you add, and it cannot be changed. Then a list of burguer restaurants could have for example a photo of a salad representing the list,  or a pizzeria's list could have a dessert as the main photo.

 

Photo showing a pizzerias list with a dessert photo as the main photo. Burger restaurants list with a salad as the main photo.Photo showing a pizzerias list with a dessert photo as the main photo. Burger restaurants list with a salad as the main photo.

I would like to propose the following to solve this issue:

 

  • It would be great if the photo of the list could be selected as the ones in each place
  • When selecting the photos to add, it would be great if my photos appear firstly in the list, so I can choose them easily.

 

Thanks a lot for reading and I would like you to support my idea!

 

Regards from Buenos Aires!

@Cecilita Muy buena idea !!  Es verdad es muy complicó buscar las fotos de los lugares los cuales estás creando la lista  y en la Portada de las listas que uno creo, es lógico poder elegir la foto que mas la represente

Mi voto a favor !!

Genial idea @Cecilita  sería muy bueno poder seleccionar fotos propias y fácilmente para encabezar la lista que creamos. Ojalá lo aprueben y se pueda hacer! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Makes total sense. It will give user some what more freedom to create a list how they want to represent it. @Cecilita
