Google shutting down its travel planning app; merging features with Maps, Search

SAN FRANCISCO: In favour of steering users more towards its Maps, Google has shut down its travel planning app, Trips.

The features of the app have been added to other Google apps like Maps and Search, which would continue helping people to find personal Trips information such as notes and saved places, the company wrote in a post on its Support Page on Monday after Trips was shut down.

In addition, users would also be able to find things to do, saved places and trip reservations in the Maps app.
