LONDON: Google has changed the Maps app around a great many times. This means some features have disappeared, some are being added back. Such is the case with the ability to access custom maps users created through the service.
Previously, you could create these maps on the desktop and then view them in the app without issue. And the recent method involved using a separate app named My Maps; both create and manage these maps. However, Google is rolling out a small update to the core app that allows users to access custom maps again.
Users can tap the individual points to view information on each point, like the business name. The map will continue displaying until you switch it off (toggle at the bottom of the screen).
