Get easily to your favorite places with the Go Tab on Google Maps

Hi Google Maps Users,

We are thrilled to announce a very exciting feature in Google Maps: the Go Tab.

With the new Go Tab in Google Maps, you can now more easily navigate to frequently-visited places with just one tap. Simply pin your favorite driving destinations like school, grocery store, or other essential places to quickly see directions, live traffic trends, disruptions on your route, and an accurate ETA - all without typing in the place’s address. 

If you use public transportation, you can pin specific routes, which will allow you to see accurate departure and arrival times, alerts from your local transit agency, and an up-to-date ETA right from the Go Tab. You can even pin multiple routes (including a driving route and a transit route) to the same destination to see which one will get you there most efficiently. 

To start pinning your favorite trips and know more about this brand new experience, check out this article in our Help Centre and our blog article. 

The Go Tab starts rolling out on Android and iOS in the coming weeks. Please share your feedback and experiences via in-app feedback or in Google Maps help forum. We’ll be monitoring all of the feedback closely to help inform what to prioritize as we continue to improve the feature.

Cheers,

Ha
