New Delhi: With the end of the summer approaching on September 21, the Google Maps team collated what users searched for on Google Maps during the warm months.

"We reviewed the summer search activity on maps.google.com in several countries between the end of May and the beginning of September. Within each country, a look at some of the top-rising searches and the often-searched landmarks on Google Maps gives us a sense of how people around the world spent their summers," Manik Gupta, Sr. Product Manager, Google Maps said in a post on the Google Maps blog.

The most popular search by Indians on Google Maps, perhaps planning for the summer vacations, was for tourist attractions, followed by railway and metro stations.
