Once you have the list, you can tap on the three dots on the right side of each entry to go to the source of the info. Google will have pulled info from your Gmail and Calendar apps to create a list of your upcoming events. Tap on the three-line menu icon, select “Your places” and then tap on “Upcoming” in the top line (you may have to scroll to the left to find it). A recent addition to the mobile Maps app is the ability to find your trip reservations.Google’s new Trips site goes some way toward replacing the Trips app Info from Gmail and Calendar can be found in the Maps “Your places” section You can mark Maps locations so that you can find them more easily
On your mobile device, when you tap on the place’s location, you’ll bring up its separate Maps page you can then select “Save.” In either case, you can either star the destination, making it easier to find on the map, or save it to a list. To do this on your laptop, click on the place and then select “Save” on the left-side menu. If you have the foresight to do your Map-based research before you leave for your destination (preferably on a laptop, where you can get a better overall view), a good idea is to save those possible restaurants, museums, and other destinations so you can find them later.But while it’s a useful feature, it can often be awkward, especially on a phone, as you zoom in and out of the map while trying to compare each possible destination and figure out their relative distances from where you are. This is a simple process, well-known to most Maps users: simply enter the category into your search field. You can use Google Maps to find restaurants, entertainment, parks, etc.What follows are some of Google’s suggestions, with a bit of extra commentary to help you get at least some of the same functionality:
Google has created a page describing all the various methods you can use to replace the features of the soon-to-be-gone Trips app. You could also download your information to the app so that it would be accessible offline, very handy when you are overseas and using a temporary data plan. It’s unfortunate Trips was a handy app for travelers, offering a quick and easy way to track your travel plans, find your saved places, and explore unfamiliar territory. Google’s travel app Trips is shutting down on August 5th, ceding its territory to apps such as TripIt and RoadTrippers.
