Google Maps wants to be a social network

What is clear is that when we travel to certain places, we take guides online or stick to the recommendations of hotels or friends to go to the most popular, beautiful or most popular places in the city. But Google Maps, could change this way in which we visit cities.

Why? With the new functionality of Google Maps to create and share lists of places with friends and family. This is already available and you will be able to try it now from your smartphone. You won't have to ask for advice and wait to go looking for those places one by one yourself. Simply, you will have to create and share your lists and that other family or friends share their own travel lists with you, you will be able to travel to the best places and with the map!

This last functionality is a great approach to that style of "social network", because it is still something social, by and for the users that you want with these lists that you can have on hand whenever you visit a city.

If we add the ratings, comments, photos, details and now the shared lists, we have a Google Maps that seems nothing more and nothing less than a social network.
