Google Maps presents its new features, just in time for the holiday season. With better consideration of weather conditions, you will have no excuse for arriving late at Grandma's!
With the end of the year approaching, Google has decided to deploy new features on its navigation application, focusing on weather management and bad weather. Welcome new features which should consolidate Google Maps' place as the leader in navigation applications.
Maps allows you to adapt your journeys according to weather conditions and unforeseen events
At the end of the year, Google Maps has seriously worked on anticipating external conditions, in order to offer the most relevant travel times possible. It is thus possible to see and report the traffic status depending on the weather, as the American giant explains in its latest blog article.
That's not all, owners of an electric vehicle will now be able to plan long journeys by integrating the different stops necessary for recharging the vehicle. It is even possible to inform your vehicle to ensure that it is compatible with the planned charging stations.
Finally, for owners of a vehicle that directly integrates Google Mapslike many Renault models, it will be possible to prepare your journey on your smartphone, to send it directly to your car.
Google also improves public transport management
Public transport is not left out. Google Maps analyzes numerous data such as passage timesreal-time passenger density as well as road traffic to design optimal routes. It is even possible to adjust your preferences to limit walking times, or reduce connections.
In more than 80 major cities around the world, including Paris, London and Berlin, the navigation app goes even further. It displays live information on station entrances and exitsto obtain the most accurate data possible.
Finally, it is even possible to report a delay directly on the applicationor to confirm a delay already reported. It is possible to specify whether this incident is due to a weather disturbance such as a flooded, snowy road or simply the presence of an object on the road.
Google Maps also makes your search for Christmas gifts easier
If Google has been warning us for a while about the times of the day and week when stores are busiest, the American firm wanted to go further by allowing, in particular, search for products directly on Google Mapsin order to ensure available stocks.
Unfortunately, Google does not specify when these new features will be available in France. We will therefore have to be patient and monitor the next updates, which may bring good news.
