Pinterest Improves 7 Billion Place Pins With Better Location Data, Info

Pinterest explained the update in a blog post:

With these updates, it’s easier to visit the places you’ve Pinned. In just a tap, Pinners can get directions through Google and Apple Maps, call a business, visit a website, view hours of operations and top reviews from people who’ve been there.

As a discovery engine, we’re making it easier to discover new places to visit, restaurants to try and sights to see in your city and around the world. Now, when you save a Pin, we’ll show you other places to visit nearby on a map and other Pins people have saved from the same place.

Since Pinterest debuted Place Pins in Nov. 2013, tens of millions of Pinterest users have added place locations to their pins. These updates will roll out to all users on iOS today, and Android and web will come in the near future.
