The new “My Map” feature allows SoundHound users to discover new music based on location data, with SoundHound users’ music selections appearing on a global map in real-time. My Map also allows users to track their own usage, with their app usage displayed on an interactive map. A similar feature has been a part of Sound Tracking, a similar music discovery app with social features built-in.
