Google Maps introduces new feature
California: Google, the world's largest search engine, has provided great convenience to social media users by introducing new features in Google Maps.
According to the details, Google has made social media-influenced updates in its popular application Google Maps so that users can post more content and share experiences online.
Now Google Maps has announced another improvement on this front: photo updates that can be posted with just one line of text, all from a new button that shows up in the app under the Updates tab.
The new features are part of an update to Google Maps in recent months, and the company seems to be finding ways to make start use of the application for planning tours, contacting local businesses and parking fees.
The purpose is as simple as it could be: to let others get a closer look at a certain location, pretty much because a picture is worth a thousand words. So the text is less important this time, as the focus is clearly on the photos users can upload to Google Maps.
Google is grouping the shared content into two categories, namely from owner and from visitors, and once again, the posts are displayed similar to a feed.
Company also intends to make Maps, a hub of reviews in which users can share their experiences.
The company's efforts to make the application more accessible to users seem to be working in longer-run.
