Google Maps has new features designed to make travel easier, including improved public transportation routes that ensure users can navigate safely. The app can now help you board the correct train and guide you to the correct exit from the train station.
Users in more than 80 cities around the world can now know where the entrances and exits of stations are, which side of the street they are on, and they also have clear pedestrian paths.
Making decisions on the go becomes easier because once the user specifies his or her desires, the Google Maps application determines the best route and identifies specific entrances and exits for each train participating in the journey.
This additional feature is particularly useful for city dwellers, especially in large cities like Berlin and New York, where the complex layout of train stations can be confusing.
The app features enhanced traffic directions so users can see the best route to their destination based on estimated arrival time, number of transfers and travel time.
Filters allow users to select the desired mode of transportation or routes that require a short walking distance.
The enhanced transportation experience includes energy efficiency data and takes into account factors such as the number of connections and total travel time.
Users can now fully customize their routes with filters based on their preferred mode of public transportation or select the route that requires the least amount of walking.
Google said: “We've added new ways to help you navigate and plan outings with family and friends, and we've updated transportation methods to give you the most efficient route to your destination so you can save time and make decisions faster to meet your needs.” " "
Google added the list feature to make it easier for groups to plan trips. This feature allows users to start the process of planning a group trip by creating a shared list.
This collaborative list allows each group member to add places they would like to visit and vote on group activities using emojis like hearts or likes.
The company has also added emoji reactions that work with photos, videos, and comments posted by members of the Google Maps community.
Thanks to Google's AI, the app offers emoji interactions tailored to the content.
