Wikipedia Is Dorsum On Google Maps

Google Maps should move a tool for lead chances together with regain non a tool for hiring bloody expensive individual hire cars. Today's determination to re-introduce Wikipedia onto Google Maps is thence 1 of the few right decisions Google has made amongst the novel expect Google Maps.

In my persuasion 1 of the biggest mistakes Google Maps made was removing the Wikipedia layer from both the classic together with novel expect Google Maps. Thankfully Wikipedia is back, if solely 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 present me things on the map which I already know exist, which I know how to conk to together with actually don't involve a map for. It decides to map the things I actually don't desire to meet 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 e'er allowed us to explore the footing through the map layer, plow on satellite see together with see incredibly detailed imagery of the footing together with fifty-fifty supply us amongst an immersive sense of places nosotros mightiness never conk to see inwards individual yesteryear switching to Street View. With the Wikipedia layer nosotros could also click on places that nosotros regain on the map together with larn something novel virtually the world. It turns Google Maps into a wonderful tool for regain together with adventure. Now that's what a map should be.

The novel Wikipedia layer on Google Maps is called 'Quick Facts'. If you lot straight off click on 1 of the modest circles on the map, which betoken points of interest, the Quick Facts for the location volition move displayed nether the search box. The Quick Facts also seem when you lot 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 conk along to plow Google Maps dorsum into the world's most amazing tool for exploration together with discovery.
