Google Maps Fights Your Indecision with the Group Planning Feature

Google Maps has added a group scheduling feature to help you plan your projects without having a long series of messages about it.

The feature, which was released Wednesday, is designed to help groups of people make plans more easily. It allows everyone to influence decisions about where to eat, drink or go out.

To use this feature, long-press a place to add it to a short list (a small floating bubble on the side of the screen).

Once the list is created, you can share it with your friends – anyone can continue to edit the list after sharing – and vote for placements in Google Maps.

The group scheduling feature works on Google Maps for iOS and Android.

The app added phone's battery status to his location sharing in August, allowing your contacts to see if you'll be cut soon. Check our guide some other recent additions to Google Maps, which include alerts on trends and events occurring in the region.
