Google made sure to make its rounds to all of their apps.  This time around we got Google Maps getting some new tricks to become more personal & more helpful. 

So you have the new Explore tab that offer you everything to know about dining, events, & activity options nearby.  All by checking out a location and the options will appear.   Next up, we got group planning where you can create a list of places within Maps and share it among your friends.  From there you can take a group vote on where to go. 

Then, we got matches that recommends a place of interest based on probability & your patterns.  So it will evolve & improve over time as the more you use it, the more of a match it will be.  And lastly, we have AR mode which will help identify points of interest while in street view.  

Google is making their native apps a lot more interesting thanks to machine learning & AI.  These new features for Maps are set to arrive for the app later this year.
