| Google releases a major update to the map to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary |
Google announced today (Thursday) a comprehensive update of Maps to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary. In recent years, it has changed the concept of mobility for many users all over the world.
"In 2005, we started our journey to map the world," said the American tech giant. Since then, we've changed the way people think about how the map works: from promotional point A to point B to navigating so you can explore and complete global events. Over a billion users use Google Maps to view and explore the world. We celebrate our fifteenth anniversary with new look and product updates based on your reviews.
Google says: As of today, Google Maps is completely new and available for applications on Android and iOS. The app also receives 5 tabs that appear at the bottom of the screen: (Browsing), (Navigation), (Saved), (Share) and (Updated).
New (available) tabs allow users to add information to a map, and (archived) tabs give you access to websites stored on the map. (Update) Geographically, the tabs contain the most popular topics on Google Maps. On the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the release of Google Maps, he added a car icon with festive characters that will be used on the map for some time.
Google added several new navigation features, including a new understanding of the road conditions on the roads users want to drive, as well as the benefit of forecasting road conditions added over the past year. New features include public transport lines that support people with special needs, areas designated for women that offer specific sections of local transportation for women, and transportation routes that provide users with security protection.
The latest version of the Google Maps app for Android can be downloaded from the Google Play store, and the latest version of the Google Maps app for iOS can be downloaded from the application store.
