The official blog for Google Maps
Make Google Maps yours at SXSW
March 8, 2012
If you’re heading to
South By Southwest
(SXSW) this year, make
Google Maps
your tour guide to everything and everywhere you need to go.
First, we’re powering the map in the
official SXSW GO mobile app
so you can find your way around the concerts, films, sessions, and events.
Second, as part of the
Google Village
, we have our very own
Google Maps house
! Within the house, we’ll showcase the latest features on
Google Maps for Android
including navigation and indoor maps, as well as show you how to add your local knowledge and improve Google Maps for your fellow users with
Google Map Maker
. We’ll also be hosting
Schemer
- a new way to help people discover and share stuff to do. To get schedule and times visit our
webpage
.
Bar 96 in Street View
and the
Google Village at SXSW
Like any tour guide should, we always give the best recommendations on where to eat, shop and play -- all at a good price. For those attending, we have happy hours hosted by
Zagat
to give you a taste of Austin and by
Google Offers
with a few “sweet” deals to experience.
Not to be missed:
Live demos and games for
Google Maps for Android
Live demos for
Google Map Maker
Join
+Trey Ratcliff
for his
+Schemer
Photowalk — and help him break the world record!
Join Bike Hugger as they start at the Google Maps house for their

If you can’t make it to SXSW, look out for the
Hangouts
we will be hosting so you can always come visit us virtually! When you see the giant Google Maps pin with a Street View car in front of it - you’ve arrived.
See you in Austin!
