From today, Dublin Bikes users can now see how many bikes are available through the Google Maps app.
Dublin Bikes' own app already offers the service, but this now integrates the option into one of the most used travel apps in the world.
The new feature will not only help people find a Dublin Bikes station, but also tell them how many bikes are at a stand, and how many spaces there are left to park.
At the moment, the feature only works with Dublin Bikes, with a suggestion from Google that it will eventually be rolled out to other bike-sharing services like BleeperBikes.
New Dublin Bikes Google Maps Feature
New Yorkers have been trialling the feature for the past year, and it is now being extended to 24 cities in 16 countries.
As well as Dublin, they include places like Barcelona, Chicago, London and Toronto.
Across the world, it is estimated that there are 1600 bike-share systems, with more than 18 million bikes being shared.
The new Dublin Bikes feature is now available on the Google Maps app on Android and iOS.
