- Upcoming Google Maps update will tell you if you need to take the flyover or not.
- This could save a lot of fuel and time, not to mention traffic build-up as well.
- Besides, the update will also bring a narrow road prompt, charging station locations, and ticket booking via ONDC.
Google Maps is the go-to navigation app for almost all people in the subcontinent. The app has received tons of features and improvements over the years, with the latest improvement being the UI overhaul. However, it looks like Google is preparing to add some India-specific features in its upcoming Google Maps update, and one of them is to ensure you never miss a flyover.
We’ve all been, at some point, confused whether we should take the flyover or continue straight. A lot of times we end up taking the wrong path which results in loss of fuel and time, not to mention traffic build-up in some cases.
This issue will hopefully be eradicated as Google Maps is about to get a feature that will show you a direction prompt if you’re supposed to take the flyover when navigating.
Google Maps update is also adding a feature that shows you if the road ahead is narrow. This could potentially help you avoid narrow roads where your car cannot pass. The other feature could potentially compete with the PlugShare app we mentioned in our best Android Auto apps article.
We’re talking about EV charging station locations. The number of available charging ports should update in real time, as the screenshots suggest. Lastly, you can now book a metro ticket via ONDC directly from the Google Maps app, which is a super nifty feature.
