Putting thought into when and where you go online is one of the best things you can do to help boost earnings. 
In some US cities, we’re adding Earnings Heatmap to the Driver app. The gray zones on the map now indicate in where you could expect earnings to be higher.*
Gray zones will indicate where you could expect earnings to be higher. The darker the gray, the higher the forecasted earnings.
You could earn more than average earnings for that hour in your city.**
These will now indicate expected higher earnings for the next hour:
Gray colors
Dollar signs
Frequently asked questions
How do we calculate potential earnings information?Down Small
The map combines data from the previous 4 weeks with current conditions that factor in promotions, supply and demand, surge, and wait times.
Does the map change affect surge pricing?Down Small
No. Gray zones will indicate in where you could expect earnings to be higher.* The goal of this change is to better help you decide when and where to drive. Nothing about surge pricing is changing.
Why does my map now have dollar signs?Down Small
Gray zones accompanied by dollar signs will indicate where you could expect earnings to be higher.* 
*Earnings forecasts are based on historical earnings over the past 4 weeks, current market conditions, promotions, surge, and wait times. Historical earnings are based on trip earnings of drivers who were online for at least 20 minutes over the past 4 weeks and includes all of the money a driver made on trips, including fares, surge, tips, and any direct costs to complete a trip. Earnings forecasts are for informational purposes only and are not meant as a guarantee of earnings. Actual earnings vary and depend on factors such as demand, time of day, location, number of trips provided, and length of trips.
**Average earnings are based on drivers who took trips in the last 4 weeks in your city at similar times and areas.
