The new suggest feature in Google Maps for Australia is here to help you out, and get you to what you want faster and more accurately by showing search suggestions for the most relevant places, businesses and points of interest as you type. You’ll get the most useful suggestions depending on where you're zoomed into on the map.
For example, if you start typing ‘q’ when you’re zoomed into Canberra, Google Maps will suggest Questacon - maybe a great spot for the upcoming school holidays.
The same search in Sydney will suggest the famous QVB shopping centre.
This feature will also help get you to other Google Maps features faster - for example, typing ‘rea’ will suggest real estate, and selecting that suggestion will take you straight into real estate search mode.
The search suggestions in Google Maps also include additional information, such as the address of the business or the district that a place is in. This extra information helps you find and select the exact business or location you're seeking.
So next time you’re running out the door and know you’re going to ‘Oak’ somewhere ... try letting Google Maps help you out with a few suggestions.
