Google Maps Brings Its Add A Pit Stop Feature To iOS

Google Maps rolled out a new feature for finding pit stops along your route

t’s surprising that it took Google so long to add such a basic feature to its navigation app. After all, hitting up a pit stop while on your way somewhere else is the norm — but, before, you would have to route your way to the pit stop, then start a new route from the pit stop to your destination. And by creating two navigation sessions, it could be hard to see which gas station, restaurant or other stop would incur the least amount of extra driving.

The feature was already live on Android, but is today rolling out to iOS users worldwide, says Google.
