Google Maps Receives Community News Feed

The function is designed to help users learn the news of the area and city and explore the city and find new places. There you can find out about the appearance of a new dish in your favorite restaurant, a temporary action, opening a veranda in the fresh air, see recommendations for a new area for yourself, and so on. 

As the developer’s note, news from the community is in the most prominent feed. The function is gradually spreading and will soon become available for Android and iOS users worldwide, including in Russia.
