The official blog for Google Maps
Hit the road with the New Google Maps preview
October 9, 2013
Though summer has come to an end – at least in the Northern Hemisphere – your feedback on the
new Google Maps
preview these past three months has been a great help in our continuing quest to build a better map,
more tailored to you
. Based on your input, we’re pleased to announce one of your most requested features – directions for multiple destinations – will begin rolling out today. And with two new tools to help manage your reservations and discover upcoming events, it's never too early to plan your next road trip or adventure.
Directions for multiple destinations
Whether you’re running weekend errands or planning a cross-country tour, you can plot multiple destinations for your trip with ease – now available for driving, walking and biking directions. Once you’ve chosen a starting point, click '+' and add stops to your route by typing in the search box or clicking on the map.
Plan your next road trip with directions for multiple destinations
When you’re exploring a new city, find the best way to museums, historic squares, and other attractions by dragging and dropping your destinations in the order that works for you. And if you’re curious before you go, the Views carousel, located in the bottom right corner, is a great way to preview Street View, Photo Tours, and other imagery.
Re-order your route by dragging and dropping one destination above or below another
See your flight, hotel, and restaurant reservations
Similar to
Google Search
, find your flight, hotel, and restaurant reservations faster right in Maps. Just search for your departing airport or dining destination, and we’ll instantly show your upcoming plans. Having all your stuff in one place makes it easier to manage your appointment details and plan your commute. This info is available when you're signed into Google, and only you can see it.
Then, when you're ready to go, you can quickly access your recent search history on the Google Maps app for your iPhone or Android device and hit the road
This feature is currently rolling out to Maps users in the U.S. and is available in English only.
When signed into Google, locate your destination on desktop
and access
search history on mobile to quickly navigate there
Upcoming Events
Search for
Radio City Music Hall
, the
O2 Arena
, or your favorite local performance venues, and click
on the Upcoming Events card to see a schedule of concerts, sports matches, and other events happening near you. Or if you’re new to an area, start with "
music venues
."

It's been a busy summer for the Maps team, and we wanted to share a few things we've been working on, but there's a lot more coming soon. Keep sending us your feedback using the "Help & Feedback" menu in the upper right corner of the screen.
