California (Web Desk): Google Maps is widely used to discover new restaurants, popular spots, and other places of interest, but very few people know that it can also help you locate nearby gas stations quickly and easily.
This feature is especially useful when you are traveling and your car or motorcycle is running low on fuel, and you are unsure where the nearest gas station is located.
To use this feature, open Google Maps on your Android or iOS device, swipe through the options below the search bar such as Home or Restaurants, and select the Gas option. The app will then display all nearby fuel stations on the map with red icons.
Using this tool, you can not only find the station but also check its operating hours and other details. In some countries, fuel prices are even displayed, though this option is not currently available in Pakistan.
Experts say this hidden feature is an extremely useful tool that can save time and make travel more convenient, yet most users are still unaware of it.
