Google Maps gets busyness info for areas, more detailed and personalized maps
Google IO was busy with a load of announcements today, and one of them had to do with Google Maps. The app is set to receive a bunch of neat feature updates in the coming months.
First off, detailed street maps, which launched last August, are now headed to an additional 50 more cities by the end of the year, including Berlin, Sao Paulo, Seattle, and Singapore. These maps show you where sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian islands are, along with the shape and width of roads to scale. This can help you choose the most accommodating route for walking.
Google Maps is getting another massive update. The Mountain View-based search giant announced at the I/O 2021 conference that the routing model would once again be updated to also provide users with the safest route to a defined destination.
