How many times do you manually search for a route on Google Maps? On many occasions, especially when we are already in the car, it can be tedious to select a route so that the Google application guides us to the destination. Perhaps we have not checked the route well and have selected a different store or we have to search for the exact location and enter the entire address. It makes navigation less intuitive. Luckily, Google already has an alternative to quickly access the most frequent routes.
Google will soon add a new tab called 'Ir' or 'Go' to Google Maps, which will replace the current 'Tours' tab. This new category will show all those routes that we make frequently to access them quickly, without having to enter the address manually. The 'Trips' tab only shows home or work routes, but not those that do not have a special category, but that we usually do constantly.
For example, if Google Maps detects that on many occasions we take a route to a specific location, such as an establishment or a park, it will be shown in the 'Go' tab so that we only have to press a button and start browsing. In addition, the tab will allow us to anchor those recent or frequent places to always be able to access them The tab also has a map where it will show traffic information or faster alternatives .
Also for public transport
This new tab also makes a lot of sense if you use Google Maps to navigate public transportation. With the new tab of the maps app it is possible to set specific train, subway or bus routes, even with transfers or walking paths. In the tab, when next to the routes and will show public transport schedules, as well as relevant information.
Without a doubt, very good news for those users who usually use Google Maps a lot in the car. This new tab will be rolled out to all users over the next few weeks, although it may take a little longer to arrive. Although this feature will be applied automatically, it is a good idea to always keep the application up to date. When the 'Courses' tab changes its name to 'Go', it means that the new function is already active in your application.
