  3. Impact on Consumers Using this feature, you can get an idea that how crowded a place is or can get throughout the day. You must have someday tried to avoid long lines or wondered when is the best time to go for a coffee or lunch or go shopping or hit the gym. Along with this real-time feature, you can also know how long people usually stay at one place, so that you can manage your timings accordingly. People usually prefer to spend more time at places with good ambience, hygiene,value and many other advantages according to the type of place. So, people will eventually get a rough idea or review about the place using this feature. Source

  4. Impact on Businesses If you are an owner of a popular restaurant, then you need to be aware of this feature as well. Your customers may not walk in if they got to know that your place is crowded at the moment. And eventually, it will lead to some amount of decrease in your sales which will not be good for your business. Also, there will be times when this feature will be good for your business. Some people will like that your restaurant is crowded hence popular and serves good quality as well. This may help some eCommerce stores as when there is a busy period; some users will choose to shop online rather than wasting their precious time in an overcrowded store. Source

  5. How Does it Work? Now you might be thinking how this new feature from Google works? Google uses aggregated and anonymous GPS data from users who have Google apps on their Android mobile phones and collects location data from its users. iOS users can go for Chrome and Safari apps. It works the same way Google Maps does and crowdsources traffic data and can determine how busy a place is. Google’s ability to gather information from millions of smartphones is what fuels this awesomely helpful feature. Source

  6. How To Use It? To use this feature, firstly you need to open the Google App on your Android Device or Safari and Chrome App on your iOS device. Then click on “more about” button and the information on the venue you searched will open. The new feature from Google is indeed quite a deal in itself as its absolutely free for the consumer to know whether it is a good idea to visit a place or not. You can plan yourself and save a lot of precious time using this feature. Source
