Google Maps is a great tool for exploring places - you can pan around the map, zoom in and see nearby places, look around in Street View and search for whatever you want. But what is missing is be able to get a clear understanding of what a place is all about. Instead of doing the research all over the web, wouldn’t it be great to see all the information about one place in...one place?
Starting last Friday, you can do that on Place Pages for Google Maps. A Place Page is a webpage for every place in the world, organizing all the relevant information about it. By every place, we really mean *every* place - there are Place Pages for businesses, points of interest, transit stations, neighborhoods, landmarks and cities all over the world.
You can get to a Place Page by clicking on “more info” in search results, or by clicking “more info” in the mini-bubble. Now, instead of just getting a slightly bigger bubble, you’ll get an entire page of rich details, like photos, videos, a Street View preview, nearby transit, reviews and related websites.
