You might also want to take them to your favorite restaurant to share an epic meal. I'm sure you remember how to get there, but what about that amazing Italian restaurant you tried last summer and forgot its name and where it's located? No worries, Google Maps now has you covered.
How to use the new features on Google Maps
Not only can you share your list of places, you can also subscribe to lists created by other people so you know their favorite locations too. Here is how to get started:- Open Google Maps.
- Find a location on Google Maps that you want on your list.
- Tap the name of that location.
- Tap the Save icon under the location's name - Doing this saves the location to one of your pre-set lists. You can name the lists anything you want, such as favorite restaurants or places I want to try.
Sharing your lists is easy as well. Simply tap the share button to get a link and you can send the list via text, email, social media or any popular messaging app. The recipient only needs to tap "Follow" on the link you sent to pull up the list whenever they need it.
Lists that you follow are with you wherever you take Google Maps and can be viewed on mobile, desktop computer and even offline. Download offline maps of the area you are traveling to in advance and you will be able to see all the places on the list.
