Check the traffic density for a particular day and hour of the week!

Google surprises us with new options from time to time, so we got a few in a short period regarding Google Maps:

As I mentioned, we also have live traffic, so you can see where there is less and where there is more traffic. However, this feature is no longer only available in real-time, we can view it for any day and hour of the week.

Google collects this information in several ways, all through users' Android devices. It uses positioning sensors (GPS and mobile data) to determine how many devices are moving at what speed on a route. In addition, it uses the distance of the device from the network station as data if the device does not have GPS or mobile data enabled.

How to activate this option?

If you go to maps.google.com you can activate live traffic when you click on Menu and select the "Traffic" option (at the top). You will now see live traffic.
