Want to avoid crowded places? New Google Maps feature can help you
In a bid to help holiday shoppers, tech
giant Google has
launched new Google Maps features
that includes Area Busyness and Directories.
The company said that users can use Area Busyness, a new feature
that combines live busyness trends to help them instantly spot when a
neighbourhood or part of town is near or at its busiest.
"To keep the coming weeks stress-free, we are launching new Google Maps tools to
help you stay safe, maximise your time with loved ones and find that perfect
holiday brunch spot," the company said in a blogpost.
To help users find their way around large buildings fast, the
company is also expanding the Directory tab globally on Android and iOS for all
airports, malls and transit stations around the world.
"Now, when we have this data available, you can quickly see
what types of stores are in a building (like toy stores or jewellery
boutiques), airport lounges, car rentals, parking lots and more," the
company said.
"And within each category, you can see a list of the relevant
businesses, in addition to helpful information about whether it's open, its
rating and what floor it's on," it added.
