2. Click on Reservations, where you'll see a list of all your upcoming reservations that Maps has pulled from Gmail.

3. If you click on any one reservation, you will be able to know more about it, such as date and location.

Additionally, in simple ways, you can directly search for "my reservations" in the Google Maps search box.

If you haven’t booked the Holiday dinner or running out of time to check the restaurants then Google Maps can help you in booking restaurant reservations.

1. Go to Google Maps, tap the Restaurants option at the top and you will see a list of nearest places to eat.

2. Then, select a restaurant that looks good to you, and a pops up option will be on screen to reserve a table. Though, not everyone does but still can let you know the best places to eat.

Stop running and navigate through airports and malls

Google Maps stated in November that its Directory page would be expanded to include all airports, malls, and transport stations. This will save you time running around the airport looking for a spot to eat or picking up last-minute items before your flight. Google Maps will show you the floor on which your desired place is and even the business hours.

So, now stop worrying about the bookings and finding the right place and just focus on enjoying your holiday!
