Google converts them Maps της σε ένα κοινωνικό δίκτυο. Η επιχείρηση έχει εδώ και πολύ καιρό μια λειτουργία αξιολογήσεων, που την ονομάζει “Τοπικοί Οδηγοί”, όπου οι χρήστες ενθαρρύνονταν να δημοσιεύουν φωτογραφίες και να μοιράζονται comments about the places they visited.
In addition, Google lets you follow the "Local Guides" that you consider worthwhile, so you can see their recommendations for other places that have gone. If you like what person X said, then it makes sense to want to see his opinion on other local restaurants, bars, parks, hotels etc. It is a kind of FourSquare / Yelp. Google has the data, they have the users, and chances are you're already using Maps from them two these applications.
According to a Google statement “People in the Bangkok, Delhi, London, Mexico City, New York, Osaka, San Francisco, Sao Paulo and Tokyo areas will soon see 'Top Local Guides' appear under the 'For You' tab on application for mobile phones "Maps". When you follow one of these Local Guides, their recommendations will appear on Google Maps, just for you, so you can be inspired by ideas for things to do and places to go.”
The new feature is not yet active, at least on our device, but Google says it will be out soon.
