There is no doubt that Google Maps is one of the most used GPS applications on this planet The Mountain View company continues to update its application with many novelties that allow us to enjoy it more and more. A few days ago Google added augmented reality to the application. Now comes one of the most desired features, the addition of speed cameras and accidents to the application.
Google inherits, directly from Waze, one of the most interesting things about the social navigation application.You can warn speed cameras and accidents during the route and this will alert other drivers. There is no problem competing with Waze, since both applications are owned by Google.
How can you report speed cameras and accidents?
Through Reddit it has been announced that Google Maps is testing this function, available for a long time in Waze. Users can already report a traffic accident or the location of a radar with one of the options that the application integrates. But this option is not new at all, because Google has been testing this feature in Maps since last year Now this feature is about to be released globally.
As we can see in the famous forum, at the moment only some users can notify of a new radar or an accident through from Google Maps.The new button that allows you to notify us of this is only available when we are driving and is integrated near the new Spotify button. It is a speech bubble with the + sign inside as we see in this screenshot.
Only during the journey
This button only appears during the ride. If we are not navigating with Google Maps in the area we cannot use the option to alert of a traffic accident or a speed camera All you need to see this new button is to have the latest version of Google Maps installed on your smartphone. Go to Google Play and check that you are using the latest version of Google Maps.
At present Google has not announced the official release of this feature so we cannot give a specific date of when it will be available this app for all users. What is known is that many Android users are already enjoying this new option.It is not ruled out that Google will start adding new Waze functions to the application in a few months.
