5 Handy Tips for Excelling at Destinations on Google

Google’s new “Destinations” feature offers a hassle free solution when planning a trip by cleverly organizing location contents. Although Google tried to keep things simple, there are some things that users don’t utilize to their full potential. Here are some quick and handy tips to enhance your experience on Destinations.

#. Find best months to know the peak season

There’s always a peak season no matter where are you planning to spend your vacations. It’s the best time to enjoy the place’s climate and culture. Destinations on Google, tells you which are the best months throughout the year for visiting a particular place. It even shows a tiny report that represents the period’s popularity among other travellers, temperature highs-lows and precipitation percentages. You can find this under the “When To visit” section, click “all months” for a detailed overview.

#. Make use of auto-generated itineraries to better organize your trips

Planning a route for your travel points can be tricky if you’re not aware of the place’s timings, rules, and other factors. Destinations on Google simplifies that by providing auto-generated itineraries so you don’t miss anything from the trip.

These plans are derived from users who have visited a place at some point in time before. However, some are results of intelligently written algorithms by Google itself. You will able to browse the whole timeline including details about the place, travel choices which range from trains to by foot and also how much time it took them to get there. Finally, you’ll see a map on top that concludes everything beneath it.

#. Plan your trips according to your interests

Once you perform a search, Google gives you with a comprehensive catalog of places but sometimes it can be tough to perceive the one you’re particularly looking for. To overcome that, there’s a small drop down present on top which lets you filter the results according to your interests like Adventure travel, Hiking, Nature and more.

#. Add keywords at the end of a query to get better outcomes

You can add keywords to perform specific activity searches, for instance if you’re looking for skiing destinations in Switzerland, you can type in “Switzerland destination skiing”. It will bring up skiing resorts, training camps and more.

#. View travel guide videos before you visit a place

For a few locations as of now, Destinations also include a section for travel guides curated from YouTube. It’s a great way to get to know what’s it like to be in the place, get acquainted with the environment or if you just want to create an itinerary inspired from travel bloggers and journalists.

For now, Destinations is available only on mobile. We hope Google will soon bring this feature on desktop and integrate it better with Google Flights. For now, enjoy these Destinations tips.

Dutch Court Orders Google To Hand Over Fake Reviewers IP Addresses

In the Netherlands, browser giant Google has been ordered to take down the false and abusive reviews that have been linked to attacks on a Dutch nursery.

The child care business, which hasn’t as yet been named in court papers, has won a legal case against Google, forcing the US firm to uncover and reveal the details of the people responsible for posting a multitude of fake reviews that were derogatory, and also that child abuse had allegedly taken place in the day care facility.

A picture of somewhere in the Netherlands that has nothing to do with Google, or the nursery, or, indeed, the court case. Pretty though, all the same.

A picture of somewhere in the Netherlands that has nothing to do with Google, or the nursery, or, indeed, the court case. Pretty though, all the same.

The allegations were made using Google’s Google+ social networking platform, and also on Google Maps.

When the reviews claiming that infants were not safe in the nursery were found by the small business, the owners originally approached Google and asked them to remove the offensive and untrue content.

But the search titan refused to do so, using the argument that the posted material came under the auspices of freedom-of-speech, and therefore they were not obliged, or could find a justification for removing them.

The unnamed nursery’s lawyer told TechCrunch that:

“The judge balanced the interests of privacy against the interest of reputation (of this nursery). However, it considers the interests of protecting the reputation more important than the interests of Google to the interest of privacy of the Google Reviewers.”

Speaking after he made his ruling, the judge in the case, CM Berkhout, differed substantially with the US firm’s point of view, instead finding that the reviews were indeed fake and damaging.  He ordered Google take down the reviews.

Berkhout also made a provision in his ruling that Google would have to provide details about the reviewers so that the nursery could, if it so wished, face the posters of the reviews and allegations in court. He said afterwards:

“In my opinion, it was stunning that Google allowed this, as the practice of using someone else’s profile picture without consent is unlawful and infringing on portrait rights…  and it only helps fake reviewers to hide behind a ‘trusted face.’ Hopefully, this decision will make Google rethink their own policies and the way they enforce their policies.”

Google’s response was characteristically brief, utilizing their normal brevity in matters that have gone against them:

 “We’ve received the ruling and are currently reviewing it.”
