Google Maps now allows you to combine routes with metro addresses with taxis and bikes

It is one of the most useful services that exist from Google. Surely you have guessed it. We are talking about Google Maps,a tool that over the years has been incorporating new functions, until it has become a very rich service, which helps us when we want to go anywhere part. Also when we are in trouble, in the heart of a big unknown city.

The case is that the Google maps service has just incorporated a new functionality, which will allow users to combine metro, taxi services in their routes and by bike,a perfect option for those who travel through cities where the possibilities of getting around are as varied as they are complex.

More possibilities to navigate: news in Google Maps

Moving around a big city is not easy. As you know, you have different options, including ( although not all the same), the metro, the bus, the tram, bicycles, cars, taxis, etc. Google Maps is a perfect tool to locate yourself and find good solutions when moving from one place to another, but the truth is that the application does not always take into account all the options that existin a big city.

In fact, sometimes a single means of transportation is not enough. And to move from one end of the city to another, it is convenient to combine different types. With this new function, Google Maps will offer users the possibility to draw routes taking into account other means of transport, such as the subway, taxi or bicycles .

From now on, when you access the search for an address to get directions on Google Maps, you will have the option to enter the section of Mixed Modes . Where is this?

From here you can combine a route by metro, with a bicycle and even a taxi. All these recommendations may change, depending on the traffic. This way, you may not get the same indications depending on the time. On the other hand, in addition to seeing the recommendations and possible combinations, you will get an estimate of how much it will cost you the route.

Recommendations depending on the day, time and place

It is not always advisable to take a taxi at rush hour if we are on a Wednesday at nine in the morning in the heart or center of operations of a big city Possibly in that case, it is much better to take the metro and then travel a few more meters by bicycle.

As you can see, this is a very practical option for the day-to-day life of the most urbanites. But if you're looking forward to trying it out right now, we're sorry to tell you that you'll still have to wait a bit. In fact, Google has announced that the new functionality will not arrive for a few weeks. It should be noted, however, that will be operational on both iOS and Android devices
