Search for the name of a store, restaurant, business, or other location\u2014it even works for parks.<\/p>\n<p>Click or tap the name of the location to view more information about it. Look for the \u201cPopular times\u201d chart in the panel\u2014you may need to scroll down to see it. Look for a \u201cLive\u201d time that tells you how busy a business is right now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-668809 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-maps-popular-times-on-desktop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Google Maps showing popular times for a location on its website\" width=\"650\" height=\"226\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also click the name of the weekday and select another day of the week to check when the location is usually the busiest. Do more people tend to shop on Wednesday or Sunday? Is the store less busy early in the morning or late at night? The chart will tell you.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that this historical data may not be as predictive as usual right now. Shopping patterns (and store hours) have changed. However, the Live data should be useful\u2014if it says a location is busy right now, you can wait until Google says the location is less busy to head there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-668810 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-maps-popular-times-on-iphone.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Google Maps showing how busy a store is right now in the mobile app.\" width=\"650\" height=\"520\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This information isn\u2019t available for every location.
