Google Maps has a lot going for it, but there’s always room for improvement. Which is why today the search giant added the ability to simultaneously search for and display destination points alongside its directions.
The new feature means users can now search for restaurants, bars, gas stations, and other destination points along their journey. To use the function, look for a blue bar at the bottom of the left panel (after your second search). Click on it to expand the widget so that you can activate both searches simultaneously. To help distinguish between the pair, Google has provided color-coded circular markers. Clicking on the check boxes will turn the searches on and off.
Try out the multiple search feature for yourself and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
