Google Maps update brings quick stops along your route and gas prices

By Aleks Buczkowski

With the latest update to Google Maps for Android the company finally adds the ability to search for places to stop along your current route. The update which will be roll out over next weeks you’ll be able to search for gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and other stops without removing your final destination.

Google added also one more cool feature. It included gas prices when you search for gas stations, allowing you to pick out the cheapest one along your route.

Searching for points of interest along the route is not a new feature to navigation systems but it’s one step closer for Google to rule the navigation apps market.There’s no word on when this feature will come to Google Maps on iOS.
