Google Maps 15th Birthday: update and new features

In 2005, we started to look at the world. Since then, we've gone over the limits of what a map can do: from helping you easily navigate from point A to point B, to helping you explore and do things around the world. With over one billion people turning to Google Maps to see and explore the world, we celebrate our 15th birthday with new looks and product updates based on user feedback like you.

The ceremony begins with application logo update and a little video as you enter New version of Google Maps. It is a shortcut to show how the platform has emerged and how users have used this type of active content. Once inside, or in many countries we are still unavailable, we see five tabs and different content:

  • Check out: Find restaurants, hotels, popular destinations and reviews of your city or area. Just swipe to find the power of the city or country you are visiting.
  • Public Transport: If you are one of the users, this tab will allow you to access regular lines, your favorite lines, access different travel times and, in short, to be able to use public transport with the full information in one app.
  • Saved: If you have saved any location, site that interests you or that you can create, you can check it out in this tab. It's a way to plan a trip without having to go to a word processor to save everything we want to do or visit a specific date for our trip.
  • Donate: Did you see the danger? Did you see that the road was cut? Thanks to the users' contribution, Google Maps is a great refresher, but above all, a public mind.
  • Renewal: Once you've started following the pages of restaurants, institutions or venues, this will be the place where your stories will be updated. It's the kind of feed where all the content of the items you follow will appear.

This offer is included in the new version of Google Maps. However, not every country can enjoy every tab, so we have to wait to have all the functions in our country. On the other hand, Google has announced the upcoming development around its operations within the app, among which are:

  • In public transport, surveys will be conducted to determine temperatures, whether there is safety or not, if it is a safe place for single women, how many cars are free … this way you can provide customized content for users.
  • Slow introduction of Live view, how to travel with unpleasant facts and street views. Google has promised to improve the availability of this service and continue to refine the news of this exciting activity.
