With Memorial Day weekend upon us, many of us are looking toward an extending weekend with some sort of travel involved. Â Living in San Diego, I see plenty of traffic on weekends as this city is a hot spot for tourists. Â What do I hate most about driving? Â Traffic.
Google’s latest update to their Maps app, brings new traffic alerts to help you avoid traffic jams. Â When you input a destination, Google Maps will give an explanation of upcoming traffic conditions which will help you select the fastest route saving you time and minimizing your head aches. Â Once on the road, Maps will give you a notification if there is traffic ahead, and it will tell you how long the delay will be, while giving you an alternative to avoid said traffic. Â This is one of those updates that seems insignificant, but once you start using it I am sure you won’t be able to go back to standard maps.
If you are traveling this weekend, please drive safe and have a happy Memorial Day.
