Google has just announced a new feature called "Lists" that will now allow you to track and share locations on Google Maps. The update brings the ability to create lists of places and share them with family, friends, and colleagues.

 

As per Google, "You can now create lists of places, share your lists with others, and follow the lists of your friends and family when shared with you - without ever leaving Google Maps on Android or iOS."

Furthermore, if someone shares a list with you, you can follow it so that the recommendations are only a tap away in your Google Maps app. You will also be able to view and edit your lists offline and if you have offline maps downloaded, places added to the lists will appear on your offline map.
