Google has worked hard to simplify Google’s maps, while the app is still filling a lot of useful information. For example, we say you are on the road and you need to find a gas station printo. You just have just seen the gauge in your car “e.” Is pin on. Or, if it is not quite upset, nature is calling and you need a place to respond to this call.
Whether you need gas quickly or bathroom, typing “gas” on the Google Maps app can be a life -saving
Typing the word “gas” in the Google Maps Search Bar in the upper part of the display on Android and iOS devices will show you where the gas stations are near you. The name of the gas station, the price of the gas there, and whether it is open or closed. Tap the red dot indicating the presence of a particular station, and a popup screen appears from the bottom of the display covering half of the display. It shows the name of the screen station, how far you are, and even show pictures of the place.

More importantly, it gives you a direction button that allows you to get the direction of the turn of the turn, with another tap, where you can fill your vehicle with gas and/or empty your bladder. This feature can be a life -saving time when a driver does not perform his best. You are waiting for you to start slipping your car, or you feel like your bladder will explode. With the turning point of one or both of these things, you are not paying attention to the road as you should.
So yes, this is a feature that you would hate to see missing without cause, which Google does not want to do from time to time. However, according to some posts on the Reddate, last week, Google removed this feature from the Android phone, leaving on the iOS. A redidator type, “When I see ‘gas’ on Google Maps, it showed me the price of gas in each station as well as gas stations. However, it seems that from today, Google Maps has stopped displaying gas prices on both Google Maps.”
Some Android users were tie up to install the latest version of Google Maps. However, this is the server side feature, which means that the version of Google Maps does not matter, and it depends on Google to turn the switch and prevent this helpful device from appearing on some Android devices. Complaints about the disappearance of the “gas” device came from Canada and the United States (Las Vegas and the New England area).
Then the question was whether the disappearance of this feature was a bug or something else that Google did to the purpose.
If Google Maps can’t help you gas station information where to go for
It seems that after 12 hours of Android users operating the Google Maps app, it was first to see that typing the “gas” in the app failed to expose the required information, this feature began to work again. Considering that other complaints were not published on the Reddate, I think we can safely assume that Google Maps on Android was a short -term fear for users.
But should it be again, you probably would like to consider installing a dedicated app that will help you find the closest gas station. The best I have found is gas buddy that can be filled on both Android and iOS devices.
If you tap “Gas” in your Google Maps Android phone And you are not seeing the feature manifest, then the closure can be more serious than we think. Tell us by giving your opinion in the box below.
