The Google has decided to release a few up-dates to the browser based version of The Google Maps, where it seems that there are couple of surprises waiting for regular users.

The Mountain View based company, via a post on Google Lat Long Blog, has disclosed this information, along with the details of its operation.

Among various changes is the most essential one of all, which is the need to log on to account - to get better support in maintaining monitor, of the most searched for items on Google Maps.

As an example, if there is a particular position that the user often looks for, then it's in a My Places tab on Maps, whenever the user logs on via a Google account.

Locations can be ‘starred', in which the user rates those places, as well as check-in or even save in a custom maps, along with past searches. In other words, there is no need to find the specific locations over and over again, after the new updates are rolled out.

Upon clicking on the My Places, the user will get to see all the stored directions to various places that they have recently looked for - on the panel located at the left of the map.
