The latest news that has surprised us comes in the latest update of Google Maps, which now
allows
us
to remember places where we capture Pokémon
. Surprising but true, of all the improvements that an application of this type can bring, they have chosen to join the fashion of Pokémon Go.
It does not stop surprising us the impact that the game of
Pokémon Go
has had on society. Across the globe, the Pokémon Go phenomenon has spread like a virus among its fans and not-so-fans. It is also true that there are reports that the interest in the game has declined significantly.
Google Maps allows us to remember places where we capture Pokémon and also the time.
As you know, Google Maps allows us to consult our "Chronology", which is nothing more than a history in which all our journeys are registered with data such as: date, time or way of travel. It is in this last option of the way of displacement, it is where we can select if we went in car, bicycle, walking,
hunting Pokémon
, bus, etc.
From Google they say that they add this option
to remember the place and time in which you captured your Pokémon
. Google wants to know everything about us and now also joins the Pokémon Go phenomenon through one of its applications.
This chronology is private, so in principle,
only we can consult it
and we do not expect Google Maps to become a tool to locate Pokémon or maybe yes, who knows!
Niantic, the company in charge of the development of Pokémon Go, has a close relationship with Google, since its origin was like a Google start-up. Soon, after the announcement of Alphabet by Google, Niantic stabilized as an independent company. Still, it seems that this close relationship has never been lost and from Google Maps make this little nod to the game of the moment.
