You will start seeing relevant pins on the map. You will also get the list of places, their Google star rating and all the necessary information about them.
check out cheap rides
When you book a ride to go anywhere, first of all you go to different apps (like Uber, Ola, Rapido etc.) and check which one is offering the cheapest ride. Isn’t it… but how painful it is. By going to every app you have to write the destination address again and again. You can check the price of everything at one place on Google Maps.

In Google Maps, type your destination in the search box, select directions, and then add your starting location. Tap the icon of the person calling the cab – you’ll find it in the list just below your destination. Google Maps will show you ride-sharing services in the area, as well as the cost of each travel option. For example, along with Uber, you will also see UberPool, UberX, UberXL, etc. However, you will still have to go to the ride-sharing app to book your ride.
Share your location by adjusting your Google Maps settings
