Google will let you search for products on Maps to help with holiday shopping


Don’t do all your gift purchasing the night before though.

Google has added some new travel and shopping features to Maps that aim to make it easier to find local products and stay on time during busy periods. Starting today, Maps now allows users to search for items like home goods, clothing, and electronics, and find stores nearby that sell them — a useful feature to have for any last-minute holiday shopping. Users and local transit agencies can also report any delays on bus or train routes to keep riders up to date and limit the impact on travel arrangements.
