While we brought you word that Apple Maps is used more than Google Maps on iPhones today, perhaps Google intends to “strike back”, so to speak, with their latest version of Google Maps for iOS, where this version will now have the ability to show you just when are stores at their busiest. Such information would certainly come in handy when it involves your planning, as you can then visit select locations at the right time so as to avoid any crowds.
Do take note that this particular feature will be available for retail stores as well as any other business which tend to have customers get all curious concerning the peak operating hours of the store, and this will include the likes of popular haunts such as coffee joints, restaurants, grocery stores, gyms and other points of interest.
Not only that, to help you budget your expenses better, the app will also be able to throw up gas prices each time you search for gas stations that are close by, although there is only so much leeway you can work with taking into consideration how when you need to fill ‘er up, you simply have to – regardless of the price. You can download the latest Google Maps for iOS here.
