Google Maps is rolling out several new features for iOS and Android that promise to make it even more useful over the Holiday season. The Holidays can be a hectic time that often requires a lot of planning to ensure everyone has the merriest time possible. While there are big decisions to be made, such as choosing gifts and deciding what meals to prepare, typically there are also considerations around festive activities, such as attending lighting ceremonies or visiting family.
Though Google Maps is fundamentally a mapping service, Google has added many additional features over the years. From nearby restaurant listings and city guides, to public transit information and the ability to track wildfires, Google has found many ways to expand the app’s functionality. Indeed, it's now entirely as reasonable to open Google Maps to check the air quality of a city or view the menu of a local coffee shop as it is to plan a road trip or find a gas station.
