Google Maps now offers ‘quick facts’ about the world’s biggest tourist destinations

by John_A

Google Maps just got a new and pretty useful info card that takes data right out of the company’s Knowledge Graph. This expandable window called “Quick facts” lists, well, bite-sized factoids about some of most famous locations around the globe, including Angkor Wat, the Golden Gate Bridge and Taj Mahal, as you can see above. The feature’s only available on Google Maps for desktop (and it doesn’t work for every tourist spot out there), so it’ll be a while before you can use it to plan your yearly vacations.
