Google is introducing some new features to the Maps app weeks before the holiday season. Some of these updates are aimed at making gift shopping or getting groceries easier and less stressful during the holiday season. It\u2019s worth noting that some of these features were already available in a limited capacity across the U.S.
\nFollowing a pilot program, Pickup with Google Maps is now available in more than 2,000 stores across the U.S., including Kroger, Fry\u2019s, Ralphs, and Marianos. This allows users to track the status of their grocery orders in real-time via Maps. It can also share the users\u2019 ETA with the store. Google claims that customers who use the Pickup with Google Maps \u201cwait less than five minutes for their groceries.\u201d
\nGoogle\u2019s Area Busyness feature is also coming to Maps. This is a graph identical to the one currently available on Search, indicating the crowd status of a particular area. In addition to determining the crowd levels in a neighborhood, the feature also lets you know the crowd levels of restaurants, shops, museums, etc, within these regions. This feature will be available globally on Android and iOS devices \u201cin time for this holiday season.\u201d
\nMaps will also bring options to filter restaurants based on price range
\nThe Directory tab on Maps is now available for malls, transit stations, and airports worldwide. This allows users to find specific stores inside a building\/mall along with information on parking lots, car rentals, airport lounges, and so on.
\nThere will be categories to help users find relevant information such as the establishment\u2019s user ratings, opening\/closing hours, and its specific location within the building. Google said this feature would be available across Android and iOS devices.
\nAdditionally, Maps users in the U.S. can find restaurants based on their price range. Pricing data will come \u201cfrom other Google Maps users,\u201d the company said in a blog post (via). Users can also contribute to this feature by sharing feedback on how much they spent at a particular restaurant. Information including delivery options, curbside pickup, and availability of outdoor seating options will also be included.
\nUsers may start noticing some of these features on Google Maps over the next few weeks. These new updates bring more control to the users, particularly for dining out or shopping during the holiday season.<\/p>\n
