Google Maps has started rolling out a new feature. This will highlight the busiest areas of your city or town. This feature will be known as ‘Area Business’, with the help of this feature, the user will be alerted before going to crowded areas. This feature helps you to detect more crowd than usual around you or in any part of the city. This feature works on all devices on all platforms including Android to iOS. Users across the world, including India, can start experiencing the ‘Area Business’ feature by updating Google Maps on their devices.
Works like this:
The ‘Area Business’ feature was announced last month. This feature shows live business on Google Maps to show the busiest areas of the city. It has been claimed about business trends that these are based on location history. Google collects it through those users who have selected it from their Google account.
Full chart of busy area can be seen with a single tap. In this, information about restaurants, shops and other places will be given. A chart will show how busy that area is at different times of the day.
Business related information is part of Google Maps since 2016. It can be found by tapping on a particular place on Google Maps. Last year also, Google Maps introduced indicators showing busy and less busy areas on its platform.
Features of the new update:
The new update will also help people to avoid corona virus. This feature can be used before going anywhere, which will avoid going to crowded areas.
