Google Maps has been one of the Google applications that has progressed the most in 2019, but that does not mean that the news is they are going to finish Google has been working on a novelty for some time that will allow you to hide your steps in the most used navigation application.
Since version 10.26 of Google Maps the company has been testing the incognito mode and it works in a similar way to Google Chrome. The difference here is that instead of not remembering your navigation, what it will do is forget your routes, where you have been and all the information regarding the trips you make.With incognito mode activated in Google Maps, no one will be able to know where you have gone or where you have been.
Google Maps incognito mode won't save your browsing history, location, or shared locations
It will not save, for example, data to personalize your browsing experience And the most surprising thing is that it looks similar to the incognito mode of Google Chrome, turning into a greyish interface. This new mode is useful if you plan to go looking for a birthday present and you don't want your partner to find out where you've been (for example). It can also be interesting when you want to search for a place and you don't want Google to recommend similar places. The use you are going to give it is up to you.
But the incognito mode of Google Maps is not the only novelty that is about to be released on the platform.XDA has revealed that the company is still working on a navigation mode without looking at the screen in beta versions of the app. This new mode called "Eyes Free" in English, is designed to reduce the number of times we have to look at the screen, especially when we are walking. The sight-free mode will make voice instructions more precise, especially when we are walking down the street and not only when we are driving our car.
This new vision-free mode will also work warning of all kinds of situations that arise on our journey such as works, damaged vehicles, traffic jams, etc. What new features would you like to see in Google Maps in the coming months? We think these two are some of the most interesting coming to the platform this year.
