The changes may take up to 24 hours to take effect but once they do, all employees will have the ability to use Google Maps when logged into their Google Workspace account, along with the ability to use Google Maps in the Calendar sidebar.

Adding this ability gives you and your employees the ability to see and research place information for in-person meetings as well as the ability to add driving times to your calendar as well.
