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

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.

From now on you can see in real time how crowded the post office is!

From now on you can see in real time how crowded the post office is!

A few days ago I wrote that Google has introduced information on Google Maps about the average retention of users in a company, and now we have real-time information!

As I said, the first information was introduced on which days are the busiest, and then how many users stay on average. I presented all that on the example of queues in post offices and banks because somehow this option serves me best.

So, now you can check how crowded a live facility is, at the moment when you are checking the information. Of course, this option is new, so not all companies have it, and only companies on Google Maps can have it.

You come to this information in the same way as you are for average retention, which I described in this article. First and foremost, make sure you have the latest version of the Google Maps app.

  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
  3. Now go down a bit until you come across the "Popular times" information
  4. Somewhere below there is a red "Live" next to the information, e.g. "Little busy."

If you're visiting Google Maps on your computer:

  1. Open  maps.google.com
  2. Click on an object
  3. On the left side of the information panel, look for the "Popular times" and Live sections

Now that we have all three types of information about crowds, we know when it is best to visit a certain facility and in that way, we can better organize our daily obligations.

Certainly, a very useful option and I hope that all facilities will have it because Live information is very important today.
