We set out to build the best, most private maps app on the planet that reflects how people explore the world today. We've worked hard and are rebuilding Maps from the ground up to reimagine how Maps enriches people's lives - from navigating to work or school or planning an important vacation - all with privacy at its core. Completing the new map in the United States and delivering new features like Look Around and Collections are important steps toward achieving that vision. We look forward to bringing this new map to the rest of the world, starting with Europe later this year.
