It’s been almost a year and a half since the previous News & Updates episode, so you can imagine that there is quite a bit to report on. There are new features in Google Maps in general, but I’ve also spotted a number of changes that are first and foremost meaningful to local guides, especially those who regularly make edits.
Make sure to stay tuned until the end, as I also have some nice stories showcasing the impact Google Maps can have these days in our everyday lives.
