Washington: Beginning next month, Google Maps will roll out improved navigation tools as part of a major update designed to make driving in cities more enjoyable.
According to The Verge, this enhancement will show crucial components like crosswalks, traffic signs, and lane limitations in addition to visually indicating the correct lane for approaching turns.
Users in 30 U.S. cities will be able to take advantage of this cutting-edge functionality on the iOS and Android platforms starting in November.
In addition to current features like lane guiding and 3D route visualization, the improved navigation is intended to reduce the anxiety associated with driving in strange environments.
Google Maps is also improving its “destination guiding” feature in tandem with these upgrades.
Users will see enhancements this week that indicate building entrances, highlight their destination, and offer details about adjacent parking lots.
The Verge also reports that the app will also provide walking directions to building entrances and parking location reminders.
