Google Maps begins to show a navigation mode for motorcycles

There are few things missing from the most complete map application on the mobile scene. We are talking about Google Maps, which continues to grow in features and utilities to meet the needs of all types of users. And no longer just pedestrians and drivers. Now also for motorcyclists And the application has begun to receive the possibility of searching for routes to the destination by motorcycle.

In other words, a new way of considering routes that take into account narrow roads and lanes specially designed for motorcyclesCharacteristics that are of interest to two-wheeled vehicle drivers, and that until now went unnoticed in the application, treating motorcycles like cars.

New navigation mode

This is a new navigation mode of Google Maps. Of course, at the moment it is arriving in stages for very few users. Which makes us think that it may still take weeks until the function is available in Spain. When you land, all you need to do is search for a destination and click on the How to get there button

Automatically, on the screen, the direct route and several alternatives appear. As usual. The difference lies in the upper part of the screen, where next to the vehicle (car), bicycle or public transport, now the icon of a motorcycle also appears

When clicking on it, the screen shows only the best routes for two-wheeled vehicles Streets and lanes specially designed for them, narrow streets not suitable for four-wheeled vehicles and other more specific elements characterize these routes. But not only that, a much more specific estimated time of arrival also applies. And it is that it focuses on the data of other motorcycle riders and not on the vehicles used to calculate the trajectory. Undoubtedly, qualities that help motorcyclists a lot.

Only for India at the moment

It is the users in India who have started to come across this feature of Google Play in the first place. A staggered release of Google features. At the moment there is no official confirmation, so all that remains is to wait for the function to reach the rest of the worldSomething that more than one user looks forward to and that should help motorcyclists to cut times and distances.
