Google will soon launch a new update for Google Maps, which will guide users through every step of their journey and also tell when it’s time to get off. Most importantly, these updates will also appear on your Android smartphone lock screen.
According to TechCrunch, users will have to first, enter the destination. Once the update is rolled out, they will see a Start button at the bottom of the screen with details about your transit journey. Then, users will receive live updates as they walk or ride on your public buses and trains.
It is also said to remind the user, to get off the bus or train when they are close to their destination. This makes sense when you are traveling to a new place. The report added, “While Google Maps always did a good job of giving you detailed transit directions, the process generally involved keeping track of your own progress along the route. With this update, transit notifications become a bit more like using Maps for walking, biking and driving.” The feature is said to go live “soon”.
Recently, Google launched a new feature to its Maps application specially, for Indian users. Called, the Motorcycle Mode, the feature will allow two-wheeler drivers the shortest or the most convenient route for their journey. It is available as a part of version 9.67.1 of Google Maps.
Interestingly, the app will also share details about road blockage or parking trouble near the destination. This new mode is placed alongside the earlier options – Car, foot and train. The app will show the routes and ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) which are suited best for the bikers.
