As global communities responded to COVID-19, we heard from public health officials that the same type of aggregated, anonymized insights we use in products such as Google Maps would be helpful as they made critical decisions to combat COVID-19. These Community Mobility Reports aimed to provide insights into what changed in response to policies aimed at combating COVID-19. The reports charted movement trends over time by geography, across different categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces, and residential.

In 2023, Google Maps was the most downloaded map and navigation app in the United States, despite being a standard pre-installed app on Android smartphones. Waze followed, with 9.89 million downloads in the examined period. The app, which comes with maps and the possibility to access information on traffic via users reports, was developed in 2006 by the homonymous Waze company, acquired by Google in 2013.

Usage of navigation apps in the U.S. As of 2021, less than two in 10 U.S. adults were using a voice assistant in their cars, in order to place voice calls or follow voice directions to a destination. Navigation apps generally offer the possibility for users to download maps to access when offline. Native iOS app Apple Maps, which does not offer this possibility, was by far the navigation app with the highest data consumption, while Google-owned Waze used only 0.23 MB per 20 minutes.

Usage of navigation apps worldwide In July 2022, Google Maps was the second most popular Google-owned mobile app, with 13.35 million downloads from global users during the examined month. In China, the Gaode Map app, which is operated along with other navigation services by the Alibaba owned AutoNavi, had approximately 730 million monthly active users as of September 2022.

This Mobile Location Data product provides extensive coverage of North America with precise timestamped GPS coordinates from opted in mobile devices. Data is available both in real time and historically, enabling detailed analysis of movement patterns, foot traffic trends and location based behavior.

Dear Scientist!This database contains data collected due to conducting study: "Analysis of the route safety of abnormal vehicle from the perspective of traffic parameters and infrastructure characteristics with the use of web technologies and machine learning" funded by National Science Centre Poland (Grant reference 2021/05/X/ST8/01669). The structure of files is arising from the aims of the study and numerous of sources needed to tailor suitable data possible to use as an input layer for neural network. You can find a following folders and files:1. Road_Parameters_Data (.csv) - which is data colleced by author before the study (2021). Here you can find information about technical quality and types of main roads located in Mazovia province (Poland). The source of data was Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. 2. Google_Maps_Data (.json) - here you can find the data, which was collected using the authors’ webservice created using the Python language, which downloaded the said data in the Distance Matrix API service on Google Maps at two-hour intervals from 25 May 2022 to 22 June 2022. The application retrieved the TRAFFIC FACTOR parameter, which was a ratio of actual time of travel divided by historical time of travel for particular roads.3. Geocoding_Roads_Data (.json) - in this folder you can find data gained from reverse geocoding approach based on geographical coordinates and the request parameter latlng were employed. As a result, Google Maps returned a response containing the postal code for the field types defined as postal_code and the name of the lowest possible level of the territorial unit for the field administrative_area_level. 4. Population_Density_Data (.csv) - here you can find date for territorial units, which were assigned to individual records were used to search the database of the Polish Postal Service using the authors' original web service written in the Python programming language. The records which contained a postal code were assigned the name of the municipality which corresponded to it. Finally, postal codes and names of territorial units were compared with the database of the Statistics Poland (GUS) containing information on population density for individual municipalities and assigned to existing records from the database.5. Roads_Incidents_Data (.json) - in this folder you can find a data collected by a webservice, which was programmed in the Python language and used for analysing the reported obstructions available on the website of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. In the event of traffic obstruction emergence in the Mazovia Province, the application, on the basis of the number and kilometre of the road on which it occurred, could associate it later with appropriate records based on the links parameters. The data was colleced from 26 May to 22 June 2022.6. Weather_For_Roads_Data (.json) - here you can find the data concerning the weather conditions on the roads occurring at days of the study. To make this feasible, a webservice was programmed in the Python language, by means of which the selected items from the response returned by the www.timeanddate.com server for the corresponding input parameters were retrieved – geographical coordinates of the midpoint between the nodes of the particular roads. The data was colleced for day between 27 May and 22 June 2022.7. data_v_1 (.csv) - collected only data for road parameters8. data_v_2 (.csv) - collected data for road parameters + population density9. data_v_3 (.json) - collected data for road parameters + population density + traffic10. data_v_4 (.json) - collected data for road parameters + population density + traffic + weather + road incidents11. data_v_5 (.csv) - collected VALIDATED and cleaned data for road parameters + population density + traffic + weather + road incidents. At this stage, the road sections for which the parameter traffic factor was assessed to have been estimated incorrectly were eliminated. These were combinations for which the value of the traffic factor remained the same regardless the time of day or which took several of the same values during the course of the whole study. Moreover, it was also assumed that the final database should consist of road sections for traffic factor less than 1.2 constitute at least 10% of all results. Thus, the sections with no tendency to become congested and characterized by a small number of road traffic users were eliminated.Good luck with your research!Igor Betkier, PhD

Picture this: a local bakery in Austin struggling to attract foot traffic until they claimed and optimized their Google My Business (GMB) profile. Within weeks, walk-ins tripled, phone inquiries surged, and their map listing dominated local results. This isn't an isolated story; it's the everyday reality for thousands of small...
