Google launches ‘Question and Answer’ forum for Maps

The added feature allows users to ask questions and likewise post replies to other queries.
To ask a question, users can search for the location on Google Maps or Search, open the listing, and scroll down to the “Questions & answers” section. They can also answer other questions and upvote informative replies by tapping on the thumbs-up icon.
The most helpful content will appear towards the top.
