The 1 Feature You Need to Start Using on Google Maps — Seriously!

I'm the type of person who loves making lists of everything, from my day to day to-do's to adding cities to my bucket list. But, when it comes to planning out a vacation or a short trip, those lists are out of control. I text a bunch of my friends, get advice from coworkers and end up having suggestions of where to go and what to do on a five different post-it notes and a few on my phone. If you're anything like me or are looking for a better way to group places to see and visit, then you'll want to try the latest update on Google Maps.

The feature, which is out on Android and iOS, lets you easily create lists of places. Planning a trip? Look up all the places you want to go and save them. Have a friend coming into town? Create a list of places to visit and share it with them. That's the best part; any list you create can be shared with a friend via text, Facebook, and more.
