Google Maps will now automatically associate food photos with restaurant menu items. Tool It leverages user-provided object recognition and annotation features to create a restaurant album.
Function described by 9to5Google It uses photos provided by the community itself to show menus of restaurants listed on Google Maps. The item is also associated with a brief description (provided by users or organization owners) and price.
This is an interesting solution to provide more information about restaurants, bars, cafes and bakeries that appear on Google Maps. Thanks to the photos linked to the menu, users can better choose the place they want to visit to eat.
This feature is mainly useful when traveling or looking for new places to hang out with friends and family.
According to Google, all information is collected from the community, but none of it is verified by Google. The public can also suggest edits (edit, point out bugs, unavailability, or report inappropriate content).
Phased distribution
Google will probably roll out the new feature gradually to all users of the application. Naturally, like any feature that depends on public participation, not all restaurants need the new feature to be available in the app.
As a user, you can help manually collaborate on information for a particular restaurant. This makes it easier for other users to search.
