Have you ever created a public list on Google Maps? If yes, then please keep reading.

In November, all public lists will become shared lists. No action is required from you, but here’s what it means.

Lists will no longer be visible on your Maps profile. With the change to shared lists, you’ll no longer be able to publish lists to your Maps profile. You’ll still be able to find all your lists in the Saved tab.

You can still share your lists via a link. You will still be able to share lists with others via a link in messaging apps, social apps, email, and more.

Your ‘public’ lists will be relabeled as ‘shared’ lists. Your existing public lists will automatically be converted to shared lists. The lists themselves won’t change: titles, places, and descriptions added will remain as they are. Please visit our Help Center for details (Android, iOS).

You’ll keep your points. All points you earned for publishing lists will remain. However, starting November, you won’t receive points for creating lists. Please visit our updated Help Center for more information.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to improve the list experience on Google Maps. If you have any questions, please visit our Help Center.
