What an account is for
The whole catalog is free to browse and search without an account. An account is where your saved places, bookmarks and plans will live as those features arrive.
An account holds your email address, the date it was made, and how you sign in to it: a password, a linked Google account, or neither. The privacy page says what is kept and for how long.
