Google Maps updates 'Saved tab' to make saved locations easier to access

Google mentions that ‘Nearby saved’ option will only work if you have allowed Maps to know about your location. Greg Backstrom, Product Manager at Google Maps, wrote that globally, people saved more than seven billion locations on Google Maps and the fact that overall tourism is on hold due to the pandemic, people have not stopped saving places to their bucket lists. On the other hand, the app will help you detect places that are close to your geographical location by keeping them under the separate division of “Nearby Saved”. According to 9to5 Google, there is also a ‘List’ category present in the app where you can create separate lists for your favourite places, starred places or a wishlist.
