Google has announced that it is bringing some new features to Google Maps, this included a new follow places feature.
This new feature in Maps allows you to follow business and places that you like, you will then be updated on news, offers and more from these places.
Ever wandered by your favorite store just to find out you missed a great sale? Or maybe you’re always the last of your friends to find out about the new hot spots opening in town. With more than 150 million places on Google Maps and millions of people looking for places to go, we made two updates so it’s even easier for you to keep up with the places you care about and find out about places coming soon.
Those using Google Maps for Android can now follow places right from the app. Rolling out now, just search for that coffee shop you love or that clothing store you’ve been meaning to pop into and tap the “Follow” button. Once you’ve followed places, news from them—like events, offers and other updates—will appear in the For you tab (where available, with more countries coming soon!).
You can find out more information about the new version of Google Maps over at Google at the link below.
