As a person with no sense of direction, I’ve been using Google Maps to get around since the app was first available for my smartphone. Even when I can’t mount my phone to my car dashboard, I use its audio navigation to guide me to destinations I’m not familiar with.
But as the app has rolled out newer features, I’ve had a habit of ignoring them. My You tab remains neglected, and I’ve only ever left two reviews (both seven years ago) in the app. I also happily ignore the recommendations that appear when I’m about to search for something. However, recently I decided to revisit the lists and labeled places features — and realized that I’ve been missing out.
