Google has recently added a useful tool to Google Docs that allows users to insert emojis into their documents. All users have to do is type the @ symbol into their documents and then spell out the name of the emoji they are looking for. Now, Google is building more functionality into the @ symbol<\/strong> as the company is rolling out an update that will allow users to include Google Maps chips into Google Docs<\/strong>. Here is what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last year Google rolled out an update that allowed users to add Google Maps chips into documents by pasting a Maps link into the document. Now, however, Google is making it even easier<\/a> by incorporating the feature into the increasingly useful @ functionality. This means all users will have to do to add the chips to their documents is type @ and then write in the location or address<\/strong> of the place they want to include in the document<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has put together a help page<\/strong> explaining more about the Google Map chips and also including full instructions on how to use them and why they might be useful, which you can find here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Google Maps chips update has already started rolling out to all Google Docs users<\/strong> on both a Rapid Release and a Scheduled Release, with the Rapid Release rollout almost coming to an end. Those users receiving the Scheduled Release rollout should have access to the updated feature by the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
