One of the most useful tools of Google, its maps, is updated with new and interesting functions for those who consult all their trips through her. And it is that Google Maps has become the reference both for those who want to know where a street is, and for drivers who want to know how to get to that destination turn by turn Something that is now improved thanks to the introduction of a new driving mode, and other features that we discuss below.
This is version 9.19 of Google Maps for the Android platform , where a new Driving Mode has been included. necessarily overlap with Navigation, the GPS navigator including Google Maps. In this way, the driving mode would be automated, knowing where you are going the user and showing relevant information such as traffic density or possible dangers on the road, as well as estimated arrival times to their usual destinationsAll focused on connecting the terminal to bluetooth of the car.
To do this, Google Maps is responsible for reviewing the travel history of the user and their searches on the Internet or in the application.With this, you can know in advance where you are going with a fairly large degree of accuracy For example, you will know that the user is going to work when driving to thesame time as every day to the same address In this way it is not necessary to enter data such as the destinationfor road information, how long it will take to get there or where to turn at the next roundabout, this driving mode does it all automatically
To launch it, you just have to start it from the main menu of Google Maps or, more comfortable and agile, from your own widget and icon The only problem is that, at the moment, there seems to be a minor bug in this version of Google Maps.Therefore, to start it, it is necessary to activate this driving mode in the Settings menu of the application and place the icon on the desktop.If everything goes well, you just have to start the application from that button to find the map and receive the directions without carrying out any other configuration.
Another novelty of Google Maps resides in a button to silence the indications. Something that can be convenient to avoid the sometimes burdensome application advice, or when you know the area you are driving through. A button with a speaker allows you to display two options with which to mute all warnings or, if preferred, just the indications, allowing the application to warn important dangers and alerts
Finally, this version of Google Maps has added options to location history.A section where the user can consult all the places through which he has passed. Thus, in addition to canceling this option, the user can restrict other details such as showing photos from Google Photos in these places, and other minor issues.
