With the feature, you can add a name to the event, provide a location and time, pick a category of the event, describe it, and also provide a website.

- Open Google Maps application in your Android phone or tablet. Navigate to ‘Contribute’ tab > Events. Now tap the option ‘Add a public event.’
- Now, add all basic and required information like the name of the event, location, time and more. Simply follow all the on-screen instructions.
