Oct 24 UPDATE: This feature is now also available in: Japan, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Algeria, Iraq, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Qatar
We are asking for Local Guides' help to improve a new feature we are rolling out. The next time you visit a place that has its hours on display, snap a picture of the sign AND update the hours the regular, manual way in Google Maps. This will help improve our ability to detect the correct hours from just a photo, making it easier for everyone to contribute (plus, you'll earn TWO points - 1 for correcting the information and 1 for adding a photo of the hours!)
Currently this feature is available for Android users in select countries. This feature is not available in the following countries: China, Taiwan, South Korea, Russia, Israel, Thailand, Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Ukraine, Iran, Armenia, Myanmar, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Laos, Macedonia, Mongolia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, and Bangladesh. We will update this post as we open this feature to additional countries.
