Alphabet's Google is taking on Yelp by adding features to its mapping software that allow users to save and rank preferred shops and restaurants and other locations. "Now you can confidently pick the places that are best for you," said Google’s head of Maps, Jen Fitzpatrick. Google is also introducing a visual positioning system, which helps people know which way to set off when relying on walking directions by pointing them in the correct direction.
