You already used Google Maps to find your way, but from today you can also make a handy list of places you still want to go. You can then easily share this with your friends.
Google Maps lists now available in iPhone app
Google’s map service today introduces a To-do option. Here you can create various task lists that you can then share with friends. Ideal if you want to go on holiday together, but you don’t know exactly where to go yet. If you are looking for a location from now on, the save button will look different from what you are used to. For example, you can make a list of potential holiday destinations, or a checklist with only your favorite eateries and cafes.
Google Maps has automatically created three lists, but you can also add to these yourself in the new menu screen. By then pressing the share button, you can invite friends to follow your Google Maps list. After they have pressed the follow button, the list will be given a place in their overview and your adjustments will be made automatically.
Google Maps lists gradually rolled out
According to Google, the new Google Maps listing feature will be rolled out over the course of the day for both iOS and Android. So it may take a while before you can start compiling your own lists. You can easily check if your app has already been updated: simply open the side menu, choose My Places and see if the option with saved locations is there.
