If there's one thing that's guaranteed to happen during the holidays is that you'll most likely get stuck in traffic, but Google just revealed some tips to use with Google Maps!
Whether you're driving home for the holidays, or trying to avoid the stores when they are at their busiest then you might want to try doing these things with the app:
- Navigate through airports and train stations - If you’re looking for a specific store, restaurant or parking lot in a mall or transit center, Google Maps can help. It has a Directory tab for all airports, malls and transit stations that includes a destination's business hours and what floor it’s on, so you don’t have to run around looking.
- See how crowded an attraction is - Use Google Maps' Busyness tool to tell you how busy a location is in real time. When you move around on the map, the busyness information will display automatically, or you can search the location and scroll down to see busy times compared to non-busy times.
- Input your itinerary into Google Maps - It can keep track of all your flight, hotel, car rental and dining reservations in one spot, so you’re not scrolling through emails to find check-in times or confirmation numbers.
- Use Google Maps offline - You can still get directions when you’re offline just search the location you want to go to and then download the offline map in case you run out of service.
