Memorial Day in the US is happening in a few days time and I’m sure you’ve started planning how you’re going to spend the holiday. Summer is about to start so you’re probably thinking of going to the beach but first, you have to plan really well. Traffic that day is expected to go really crazy, you might as well decide to celebrate in the comforts of your own home, in your backyard, watching or joining a local parade. But if you’re set to go somewhere else, check Google Maps first to find the best route so you could reach your destination on time.

Google has recently updated Google Maps. New traffic alerts have been added as well to help people manage through any traffic jam, something like Waze. Enter your destination info to view traffic conditions, avoid traffic jams and accidents along the way, and identify the fastest route possible. Google Maps will automatically update you of the traffic situation and an estimate of how long you will have to be on the road. Alternate routes are also provided and Google will explain to you why a particular route is the fastest.

Google also noted the top trends most people search for from last year. People usually search for the following: Beach, Cemetery, Cafe or Restaurant, Gas Station, Furniture Store, and Ice Cream Store. These are the places people look for whenever they are traveling.

Last Memorial Day weekend in 2014, people in the US go to these top five destinations: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and New York City. If you’re thinking of going to these spots, think again or plan ahead. Good thing Google Maps will be able to help you with all the information the search giant can provide.
