![]() In the menu that opens from the bottom of the app, you’ll see an option to remember your parking location. Want to make sure that never happens to you again? Next time you park, pop open Google Maps and tap the blue dot that represents your location. Whether you’re in the middle of a dense city or in the middle of a gigantic mall parking lot, it’s all too easy to forget where you parked. W ith a restaurant selected, you’ll see new options to reserve a table or join the waitlist if the restaurant supports that feature. Seeing when a restaurant is busy is one thing, but now it’s time to go a step further - you can actually make reservations now right from inside Google Maps! Just s earch for a restaurant by name or tap the “Explore” tab to see nearby restaurants. Search the restaurant name or tap on a nearby restaurant and scroll down until you see “popular times.” It’s a graph that shows you when the restaurant is busy and when it slows down, and you can even swipe through different days if you’re thinking about going later in the week. Want to try a new restaurant but unsure if it’s going to be swamped? Google Maps makes it so easy to find the perfect time to go. Now just slide your finger up to zoom in or down to zoom out. Did you know you can easily zoom in and out without using the pinch gesture that requires two hands? Just center the map so that whatever you want to zoom in on is in the middle and then double-tap anywhere on the screen, maintaining contact between your finger and the display on the second tap. A lot of times when you use Google Maps, you’re holding your phone in one hand and doing something else with the other. Right-click is a great simple trick that can make your life easier while using the desktop version of Google Maps, and now it’s time for an awesome trick that applies to the mobile Google Maps apps for Android and the iPhone.
