Google Maps should hold out a tool for guide chances as well as regain non a tool for hiring bloody expensive individual hire cars. Today's determination to re-introduce Wikipedia onto Google Maps is hence 1 of the few right decisions Google has made amongst the novel await Google Maps.
In my sentiment 1 of the biggest mistakes Google Maps made was removing the Wikipedia layer from both the classic as well as novel await Google Maps. Thankfully Wikipedia is back, if exclusively on the novel Google Maps.
One of the things I actually abhor virtually the novel Google Maps is its personalized points of interest. It adds places to the map that it knows I oftentimes visit. In other words it volition demonstrate me things on the map which I already know exist, which I know how to become to as well as actually don't bespeak a map for. It decides to map the things I actually don't desire to run into on the map at the expense of non showing data which it has decided I'm non interested in. Wrong, incorrect wrong!
One of the glorious things virtually Google Maps is that it has ever allowed us to explore the footing through the map layer, plough on satellite view as well as view incredibly detailed imagery of the footing as well as fifty-fifty render us amongst an immersive sense of places nosotros mightiness never become to view inwards somebody past times switching to Street View. With the Wikipedia layer nosotros could also click on places that nosotros notice on the map as well as acquire something novel virtually the world. It turns Google Maps into a wonderful tool for regain as well as adventure. Now that's what a map should be.
The novel Wikipedia layer on Google Maps is called 'Quick Facts'. If yous straightaway click on 1 of the modest circles on the map, which betoken points of interest, the Quick Facts for the location volition hold out displayed nether the search box. The Quick Facts also look when yous search for a dot of interest.
At final at that topographic point is something to cheer virtually on the novel Google Maps. Let's promise Google function past times on to plough Google Maps dorsum into the world's most amazing tool for exploration as well as discovery.
