About topic chips

Topic chips are based on what you publicly write about on Maps. They are displayed to help you find people that frequently review topics of interest. Topic chips can be based on cuisine, dishes, or other places you've written about.

Tip: You can use topic chips to filter a contributor's review and photos.
