- Demonstration Insights for Businesses: This business-focused update will map out how well a company is performing based on the number of customer engagements started with maps and search. The system will provide news insights for the performance of businesses and engagement with customers on Google.
- Street view images added by users: Google Maps users will be able to submit a Street View image from their phone. In particular, people can do this by recording a series of connected images when a street or path goes down. Once that footage is recorded and published, Google Images will automatically rotate, position and attach.
