In today’s digital world, there are a large number of applications related or associated with GPS , so that users have greater access to the maps and routes where they are from their mobile device, without so many complications.
One of the most common and easy to use is the app created by the giant Google empire, called Google Maps , which was launched in 2005, first to access from an internet browser and later, it was adapted to the modalities that the market demanded thus creating the application with the same name available on android and iOS .
Many people do not use the app only to locate themselves in the cities, but currently has various other services that it offers, for example: see which restaurants, pharmacies, hospitals, libraries or supermarkets are close to your location ; It also allows you to activate the driving mode to go where you want to go, see the traffic of the main avenues, the influx of people in a specific place, etc …
Importance of knowing if a supermarket is full of people
If you are one of the users who go to the supermarket with great frequency and you need to know exactly which is full and which is not, then the information that we will give you shortly is recommended for you.
For most people who go last minute shopping or who go to the supermarket almost daily, it is essential to know the market places in which there are a large number of buyers and they prefer to avoid going there, therefore they want to know how they can find out which one to go to and that there are no crowds or delays in the purchase process.
That is why, with the use of mobile applications, it is easy to obtain this information with a few steps and without having to go to one or more supplies to be able to choose which one to buy from and which is not so full or almost empty.
How can I find this out with Google Maps?
The google map service is a tool that will allow you to easily investigate the supermarkets that are not taken away from people, here we explain how to do it quickly and easily:
- Enter the application from your cell phone
- You must find the supermarket you want to go shopping to
- Make the selection on this
- Then press where the data comes out (name, address and closing time)
- Expand the information and scroll down
- Locate where it says popular times
- Here it gives you information in real time according to the time you are looking for
Peak hours
You can easily know the hours when a supermarket or supply is more crowded, for this we recommend you follow the instructions given previously, but here we highlight that in the popular hours section, you can view a graph where the hours are observed in which it attends to the public and in turn the «rush hours» .
To better understand the information illustrated in the bars in this section, we will advise you that when you see the hours where the points of the graph are highest , it means that these hours are where there is a greater agglomeration of users in these places.
What time should I go shopping?
To go shopping, we recommend that it be at a time where, in general, the supplies are very little crowded, some have different working hours and different peak hours. However, by doing a study you can discover that many of the supermarkets close to your location coincide.
So, before leaving, look at Google maps or perhaps the following general application considerations will be very useful to you:
- When the supermarkets just open
- One hour after lunch (2 or 3 in the afternoon approximately)
- Also after dinner and before closing (between 8 and 9 at night)
- If the supermarket is open 24 hours, after 10 p.m. you will find it almost empty
Which supermarket should I go to?
Finally, to select the supermarket, after consulting with the app and with the rules given before, we recommend that you go to the place where you can get the most products and you like to buy.
