Google Maps, the preferred mapping application for many users, has a voice that guides the user to navigate the city's roads. This way, people can get directions without having to take their eyes off the road to see their smartphone screen.
And it has undoubtedly become one of the best Google applications. Precisely, it has just been known that the technology giant has started implementing an update that considerably improves the functioning of Google Maps.
The improvements have a very clear objective: to improve the way you get directions from one place to another.
This is one of the great uses given to the application that is being talked about in this article, and therefore it is a very interesting advance that, surely, will save users time when it comes to going anywhere. Below Infobae brings all the news of the app:
There is now the possibility of knowing how much a trip will cost thanks to the calculation of tolls
This is very important, because it allows the user to know the costs they will have to incur to use the highways once a route has been established, so much so that the final price of everything can be reviewed, up to the specific price of the next toll.
It is undoubtedly a good option that, however, will gradually add the different regions in which they can be used in Google Maps (where all the countries of Latin America will be included).
Maps are more detailed when navigating
One of the most important news is to know the precise location of traffic lights or STOP signs. This will give much more precise information about the path being followed.
In addition, it allows Google Maps to select one or the other options taking into account the aforementioned variables, thus ignoring the options that slow down traffic.
New widgets and other new features for Google Maps on iOS
Taking advantage of this, Google has also announced a series of new features that will arrive exclusively on iOS in the coming weeks, many of which were already available on Android.
The first is the ability to add Google Maps widgets to the home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
It will also be possible to get navigation directions with a simple touch via Apple Watch thanks to Google's new 'Complication' cards for Apple Watch.
Google Maps now works better with Siri, Spotlight, and the Shortcuts app, making it easier to get directions. This feature will be available in less than a month for Latin American countries.
Another thing that has to do with routes, but it is not vital, is that now in the three-dimensional graphics that appear on the screen while driving, you can see more details about buildings or points of interest (such as shopping centers or monuments).
Therefore, at a glance you will be able to know in a much more visual way where you are passing through. All the changes are contained in the new update that is being implemented on Google Maps, but the activation will be done gradually from the services of the Mountain View company.
Everything mentioned above will not be missing on any operating system where the application is available, including Android Auto or Car Play. This is undoubtedly excellent news.
