Google, last year, added the ability to add location-based details via Google Maps to a file in Google Docs using a feature called a Place Chip. Now, the company has refined this feature by adding the ability to insert place chips into a Google Docs file using the ‘@ menu’. Simply said, users can write ‘@’ in a Google Docs file followed by the name of the place to add a place chip in the file.

For the unversed, a place chip enables users to perform tasks such as quickly open a location in Google Maps, view a location in the Google Maps side panel and find directions to the location. This feature can come in handy in the situations wherein users are on a tour and have prepared an itinerary for the same. In such a situation, they can create a detailed guide about the places that they want to visit and details pertaining to these place along with a link to Google Maps, which will then help them to get from one place to another.
