Google Maps is receiving a new update with a very interesting novelty. In version 10.8.0 a new button is added to calculate the time of a car journeyWith this new option, we can establish a departure and arrival time to calculate how long it will take. We tell you below how you can calculate it.
Actually, this feature was already available on the desktop version, but so far it has not been released on the mobile app.We could only calculate the journey time with public transport, such as buses, trains or even taxis Now, it's time for the vehicle. First of all, you must make sure that you have the latest update of Google Maps. Go to the app store and check that you have already installed the latest version. Now, go to the application and select the route you want to do.
Then, go to the three points in the upper zone and click on the option 'set departure and arrival time'. Finally, select the time you prefer. Google Maps will show you what time you should leave if you have set an arrival time. Or, what time you will arrive if you have selected a departure time. As simple as that.
The features we miss
Although it is a very interesting option, there are some 'buts' that Google should correct. For example, we don't get a notification telling us when to leave, nor is it updated with the traffic situation. The new version is now available on the Play Store. If the update does not appear, you can download the APK from here. Follow the steps for your device to install the version.
We will be attentive to the next changes to Google Maps, the application is receiving many new features lately, such as the integration with the Google Assistant , recommended places based on our interest or recommendation of nearby sites among other characteristics.
