Google announces a useful change to Google Maps that is rolling out now

Google has really done quite a job turning Google Maps into more than just an app for navigating from point "A" to point "B." You can now find the restaurants that you should visit while away in a particular city, where to go for entertainment, and any historical landmarks that must be viewed in person. Even the basic navigation function of Maps has been greatly improved with the addition of speed limit signs, traffic light information, incident reporting, and more. Google notes that the Google Maps community makes more than 20 million submissions a day and that many of these include "recommendations for their favorite spots, updates to business services, fresh reviews and ratings, photos, answers to other people’s questions, updated addresses and more."
Google adds a new community feed to Google Maps that helps local businesses connect to consumers
The new feed shows you what is happening in your area. "Every day, you can come to your feed to see what’s happening in your area. Wondering if your favorite Mexican restaurant has added a new dish to the menu? If you follow them on Maps, you’ll get their updates in your feed. Looking for a new nearby hike or a popular day trip near your city? Browse the feed for top recommendations of things to do from Google Maps users in that area. By panning and zooming the map, you can find helpful information for almost any location in the world, thanks to contributions from in-the-know locals."
