1. Switch bottom tab from Explore (map pin icon) to You (bookmark icon)

2. Scroll down to the very very bottom, until a row of icons (Timeline, Following, Maps) appear

3. Click the rightmost icon, Maps, and you will find a list of maps you have opened before

4. Find the Torii map and click into it

5. Click "View map legend" at bottom of screen

6. Click "Close" in upper right

Yep that's it, just so "simple and straightforward" as most Google products have evolved to be, what a pleasant user journey! Promo-oriented product design really hurts my eyes

There's a separate announcement showing some support and asking everyone in LA to WFH, which isn't mentioned in the article

Also not updating the RTO portal won't cause any penalty from what I've heard, and ppl can update the WFH status anytime, e.g. marking their whole month as natural disaster WFH in advance if they really care, which no one really does

hexhu | 1 year ago | on: TikTok tells staff impacted by wildfires to use sick hours if they can't work

Right, these are additional paid sick days, just need to be manually claimed through the "My RTO" portal

There's also no penalty for forgetting to update the portal in time, from what I have heard

Update: and ppl can set their status in advance e.g. setting the whole January to "natural disaster" to avoid using personal paid sick leave

Update 2: There's a separate announcement showing some support and asking everyone in LA to WFH, which is omitted in the article

Fun fact: Quality of Google translate and Google search in Simplified Chinese and Google maps in mainland China has plummeted over the past decade. Barely usable if at all. I would suggest avoid them at all cost for your peace of mind
