Re: Drinking water dispensers on maps

Exactly my point, as Google gets to know you, it personalized results, so you'll get more relevant results. Why show coffeeshops if you never go drink coffee?

 

Heres a few examples of the map zoomed all the way in on mobile. First I searched for "Drikkevand" meaning drinking water. And the little red dot showed up, amongst others, I just zoomed all the way in for comparison.

 

Interstingly, when I tapped search this area, the water fountain disappeared. And when I deleted the search, nothing showed up.

 

Now if this water fountain spat out wine because of holy intervention, people would flock to it, and it would get hundreds if not thousands of ratings, and would probably become more visible, but for now, only people searching for it, will find it, and drink it.

Re: Where you get a glass of water for free?

What's about public water tap and fontaine ? They are in public spaces, do not move like ATMs. this information is very useful for hikers, cyclists, outdoors workers and homeless. 

 

As an example, here is the map of public water points in Paris.

As a cyclist, I usually get by looking for cemeteries. But this is not necessarily obvious to a neophyte.
