Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Check online how long you wait in a post office!

Check online how long you wait in a post office!

Nobody likes the order in the post office, and we always look to go to the one where there are usually fewer crowds. But how do you know which one is waiting for the least? Especially if you don’t go often, or if you’re in another city. You can find help on Google Maps!

The new update for Google Maps brings us information about how many people usually stay somewhere. Something similar already existed, but in the form of a graph showing when there are the most people in a location during the day. And now you can see the average retention time.

This information is available for almost all objects added to Google Maps, and I found this option useful for places waiting in lines - post offices, banks…

NEW: "live" data are also available - https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2016/11/from-now-on-you-can-see-in-real-time.html

I'm not sure if the option is available in the regular version of this app because I'm a Beta tester so I'm getting new features sooner. But you can definitely update Google Maps and check it out.

  1. Open Google Maps and find an object
  2. Tap on it and drag the panel up to see all the information about that place
    Tap on it and drag the panel up to see all the information about that place
  3. Now go down a bit until you come across the information "People typically spend xx min here"
    Now go down a bit until you come across the information "People typically spend xx min here"

I don't know how Google measures this, but by some logic, it simply pulls the average retention of devices that are attached to the Internet and has a location and tracking option enabled. In the same/similar way, Google creates information on traffic congestion, which has recently become available in our country.

This new information on the average user retention somewhere can really be helpful. Not only can you see how long you have to wait in a post office or bank, but also whether, say, a restaurant is good based on whether customers leave it quickly or enjoy it.

There are many examples and I believe that you will find this new option useful in any case.
