Find a Place — search without opening Maps

Search for a place, see what you need, get on with your day. It exists because opening Maps to check one address is a five-second job that reliably costs twenty minutes.

Using it

Type in the search field. Results show the name, the address and whether it is open now or closed now. Pick one to see its details.

Recent keeps what you looked up, so the places you check repeatedly are one tap away.

Open in Google Maps hands the place over for directions or street view — the deep link is real and works today.

What is mocked right now

Search results and the map preview are demonstration data. Connecting real place search needs a Google Maps Platform key, which is a separate thing from the Google account you connect for Calendar.

The tile says so where it matters ("Map preview · connect Google Maps") rather than presenting invented results as real ones. Until then, treat it as a preview of the shape — and use the Google Maps link, which is not mocked.
