Google Maps Now Lets You See How Busy Places Are in Real Time

Google Maps Now Lets You See How Busy Places Are in Real Time Before the app’s most recent update, the Popular Times tool consisted of a bar graph charting a business’s average foot traffic levels each hour of the day. As Mashable reports, the graphs now include pink bars indicating how busy a place is in real time. Google Maps has long used data taken from users’ location histories (something you can opt out of) to inform this feature, but this marks the first time it has used live location data for more accurate results. This is pretty useful if you're planning foreign travels. See http://ift.tt/2kuGw6j
