Google Maps for IOS: Offline Maps, Local Gas Prices and Popular Opening Hours
iOS. Google today updated Google Maps for iOS with a few handy features that have been available elsewhere for a while. Now you can see local gas prices and popular times at local companies right in the search results of the app. Offline map downloads with step-by-step instructions will also be available to users in the next couple of weeks.
The offline maps feature works the same as it does on Android . When looking for a location, you have the option to download the map and then you download the map along with turn-by-turn navigation and finding a location for that area. This feature is being rolled out gradually, so you may not have it right now.
When you search for gas prices on Maps, you will see a breakdown of all prices at the nearest gas station, which should make it easier to find the cheapest gasoline in your area right now. Google has also added in popular times to Maps, which have been available on the Internet for some time. It shows you the most popular times in places so you can avoid crowds, although who knows how accurate this data is for the holidays.
