As it celebrates its 15th anniversary, Google Maps is set to roll out features that would help users explore more places, find efficient ways to commute, and save their favorite landmarks. | CMarquezINQ

“Explore tab in maps is where they can really access in places, access to restaurants or closest place to get coffee,” Dane Glasgow, Vice President of Product, said during the discussion.

The Explore tab would likewise notify users about upcoming events as well as recommend activities depending on one’s location.As commuters choose more than one mode of transportation, the updated Google Maps would have a Commute tab that would allow users to pick transportation alternatives such as bus, taxi, and train, and even display the estimated time of arrival.

Users could keep track of locations of a favorite restaurant for dinner or places to try for their next vacation by adding them to a list under this tab.To update Google’s digital map, the tech company would put the Contribute tab so users can provide information like details of roads, missing places, business reviews, and photos of places to the app.

“If a new restaurant is opening nearby, we have this updates section to give the user content relevant to them [like] changes in commute patterns, restaurants, businesses. All of those things will come at the updates tab,” Glasgow said.
