The Google Maps team (or rather teams) have been quite busy recently in coming up with new features and changes to existing ones, so the only sensible thing for me to do is to come up with another News & Updates episode.
I also came across some interesting and/or funny Maps-related news stories, so keep listening to the end to find out what those were about.

TRANSCRIPT
Spotify automatically creates (with AI) transcripts of each episode – I am adding that here, but without having checked in full detail. The content might therefore not be 100% accurate.
Will be available soon.
