However, you can acquire all the gas information you need due to Google Maps.
You’ve obviously used Google Maps to get directions somewhere, but most likely not to locate the nearest gas station. The good news is that it is simple, and you will have no difficulty figuring out how to get there.
How to find the nearest gas station on Google Maps
Firstly, go Google Maps App. (Google Play store or App Store)
Click on the Gas / Petrol Option
When you select the Gas option, Google Maps will display all of the gas stations in your area. You can use the filters at the top to find a certain gas station. For example, you can instruct Google Maps to only display gas stations that you have already visited, have not visited, or are currently open. If you don’t find any suitable filters, click More Filters. Also see How to Check Traffic in Google Maps.
You can sort the petrol stations by Relevance or Distance in the Filters section. There is also a part where you can see which gas stations are now open, Any or Custom. In the Custom option, you may check which gas stations will be open at a given hour or day. This is an excellent choice if you’re working late and want to know which gas stations will be open in case something goes wrong.
Once the filters are set to what you want, don’t forget to click the blue Apply button in the bottom right corner. The results will update and only display the results that you choose to see. The results will give you the choice to share the result, get directions, or call that particular gas station.
There are two ways to examine the search results as well. You have the option of using the Map View or the View list. The results are easier to see in View List. Tap the one you want to learn more about, and you’ll get all the information you need.
