Google Maps has introduced many new features for its users this month. The company introduced immersive views, new AI features, and a visual overhaul in the recent update. Google Maps is commonly used as a trusted source to check information on places like restaurants, cinemas, ATM locations, and other popular places.
To further strengthen Maps, Google has now shared three new ways it prevents policy-violating content from being submitted.
Google Maps shared new feature
In one of its blog posts, Google has said that Google monitors unusual patterns in content on Google Maps. Sometimes Google takes appropriate action to prevent review abuse and increase in reviews of popular establishments on Maps.
The company has said in its blog that the company also monitors reviews that violate its policy and investigates the accounts that have given reviews. Google says it limits contributors' ability to edit phone numbers, addresses, and other information to curb misleading content.
Google introduced an immersive view feature
Last month, Google introduced the Immersive View feature for Routes as part of a new Maps update, which lets users preview their route step by step while driving, walking, or cycling. The feature is available on both Android and iOS in select cities like Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tokyo, and Venice.
Additionally, Google has also added an AI-powered lens to the Maps feature to help users understand their surroundings in real-time.
