Google Maps is a great tool for finding restaurants and other places to eat. However, it can be difficult to know what foods are safe to eat in different parts of the world. To help you out, here are some tips on how to set dietary requirements in Google Maps.
- Start by creating a new account and entering your location. Then, select the “Eating” tab and click on the “Restaurants” button.
- Next, enter your desired dietary restrictions into the “Restrictions” field and click on the “Add” button.
- Once you have added a restaurant, select the “Foods” tab and click on the “Restaurants by Country” button. This will list all of the restaurants in your country that offer food that meets your dietary restrictions.
- Finally, enter in any additional information about your dietary restrictions such as weight or size restrictions. Click on the “Edit” button and then click on the “Add Entry.”
To get specific food recommendations while searching in Google Maps, you can configure your dietary requirements in the app. We’ll show you how to do that on your iPhone, iPad, and Android phone.
In the Google Maps app on your phone, you can set various diet options, including alcohol-free, gluten-free, halal, kosher, vegan, and vegetarian. Then, when you look for food places, Google Maps will only show the locations that serve food according to your dietary requirements.
