Hey there,

Thanks for your suggestion!
Which categories would you configure your widget with?

Thanks

@Jennifr, thanks for your fast reply! =)
From the categories provided in Maps, I think I would use the following categories most:
Gas station
Government office
Hospital
Movie theater
Museum
Parking
Pharmacy
Police
Rest area
Restaurant
Shop
Tourist attraction

Most of the time, I would just use Restaurants and Tourist attractions, and I would toggle the rest on and off based on what I'm looking for.

The reason I want this is because the first time I used it, I was looking for restaurants, but there were so many shops around that the restaurants were lost in the long list.
Maybe you could replace the info button, or add an additional "options"/"categories" button?

Hi there,

That's great information to have - thanks so much for taking the time to give us more details :)

We're thinking of narrowing down the number of categories for the future. Restaurants and ATMs seem to be pretty popular with folks on the forum. Settings are a bit too big a change to do this in the scope of this beta. Let's see whether we get any more feedback on this!
