Whether you're planning an entire vacation or just a night out, Google Maps makes planning much easier. In the coming weeks, we'll be adding three new features to the app that will make it easier to find things to do, see, and eat.
Starting with a select number of cities, Google Maps will soon have a curated list of recommendations from people who know the city best. There's also a list of popular sites like Lonely Planet and Open Table, where you can see 48-hour itineraries, the best new restaurants, and more.

These lists will be rolled out to more than 40 of his cities in the US this week.
Second, you can create lists with Maps to organize things to do and places to eat, or create an itinerary of must-see spots if you're helping someone navigate their favorite region. It is to do. Easily share links to your listings in group chats and social posts, and even change the order in which your locations appear.
And finally, because Google understands that plans change, it's now much easier to find information about a place and choose food quickly thanks to AI-powered insights . Select a location on the map to see both photos and reviews that give you an overview of what people like.
Google says that as you scroll through photos of food, the AI feature will help it learn the name of the dish, which should be especially helpful if you're traveling abroad or to a new city where you're unfamiliar with the cuisine. You can also see how much a meal costs, the popularity of certain foods, and whether it's vegan or vegetarian. Google is really ramping up its use of AI in Maps. Just last month, the company added AI and AI-powered immersive views to help users discover new places within a city.
