You can now ‘follow’ locations on Google Maps
Google Maps has made two updates to make it easier for people to keep up with the places that they care about and find out about places coming soon according to their news blog.
Users of Google Maps on Android devices can now follow places right from the app. People can search for that coffee shop you love or that clothing store you’ve been meaning to pop into and tap the “Follow” button.
After the user has followed places, news from them—like events, offers and other updates—will appear in the For you tab which is available in certain places but coming soon to many countries.
