How many times have you been going to have fun in a cafe or restaurant, but came across a sad message that there are no empty seats? How much time did you spend in queues at stores, shopping malls and various institutions? I'm sure it's not enough.
The new feature that has appeared in Google Maps will significantly reduce these unplanned waste of time. With its help, you will be able to find out in real time about the workload of the institution you need.
You probably already know that in the cards of many places in Google Maps there is a "Popular" section that displays the estimated number of visitors at different times of the day. Now there is an opportunity to find out about the workload of the institution in real time. The column of the current number of visitors is highlighted in red on the popularity chart.
The second innovation will please those users who like to plan everything in advance. Right under the schedule of the institution's workload, information appeared about how much time people usually spend in this place. This will help you avoid surprises when visiting a new cafe or store and never deviate from the planned schedule of the day.
And the latest feature in today's update. It will help you find out about the work schedule of various departments of the institution, if it differs from the general one. Now you won't have any problems due to the fact that the pharmacy in the nearby supermarket closes an hour earlier. Or you won't have to wait an extra hour, because the tire service, unlike the entire auto center, starts working only after noon.
These functions will appear immediately in all versions of Google Maps, as well as in Google search results. The changes will appear in different regions at different times, so not all of our readers will see them right now.
