Google Maps gets new ‘Go’ Tab gives users quick access to favorite and frequent destinations

Google Maps is getting a new ‘Go’ tab option which lets you navigate to frequently-visited places with just one tap.

Google says this Go tab will let you pin your favorite destinations to quickly get information about these places. People will be able to add frequent destinations like a school or a grocery store marked to the new Go tab, to quickly access directions, see how long it would take to reach, as well as live traffic trends.

According to Google’s blog, the new Go tab will also let users pin public transit routes they frequent. “If you take public transit, you can pin specific routes, which will let you see accurate departure and arrival times, alerts from your local transit agency, and an up-to-date ETA right from the Go Tab. You can even pin multiple routes (including a driving route and a transit route) to the same destination to see which one will get you there most efficiently.”

The new ‘Go’ Tab will be rolling out across major platforms (Android and iOS) in the next few weeks.
