Google's SOS alert plan is something we hope you never have to use. The good thing about this plan is that it allows you to avoid natural disasters and it is being integrated into the vast majority of its applications. In this new phase, Google's SOS alerts also reach Google Maps, to help us manage natural disasters en route. Not only will you be alerted when there is a problem on your route, but you will also be redirected to avoid going through a dangerous place.Google Maps will not only assess the time but also the safety of your route.
You will need to understand that a natural disaster of this magnitude can affect you regardless of where you are The map will be able to show hurricanes, places where there are earthquakes and even floods. The information will be available through various cards that will indicate the presence of a major crisis. You will be alerted to these types of problems when you are in their radius of action and you will also be able to see them if you search for related words in Google about the place where the events are happening.
Google wants to alert you to natural disasters everywhere
This last example that we have given you in the previous paragraph indicates that, if you search for a city and it is being affected, the search engine will throw you a related alert with your search which will help you see what is happening in that place.They will still take some time to integrate this feature that will arrive in the next few weeks.
Disaster warning through Google Maps will be available for Android and iPhone in the coming weeks and will start in some regions of the planet and it will spread throughout the globe. Google ensures that these ads will be present in a large number of regions throughout this summer. We hope you never have to use these alerts but you should know that they will protect you from possible disasters on your route.
Google Maps is the most used browser and it doesn't stop integrating improvements. The inclusion of a real-time speedometer within the application was recently announced, directly inherited from Waze, the quintessential social GPS. Both applications are preferred by drivers for navigation.
