Google Maps New Feature You May Not Know

Google Maps is positioning itself as a more grounded competitor against iOS’ native Apple Maps.

Dallas, TX, United States, 11/28/2021 / News Bureau /

Google Maps reported three feature updates this month to its iOS application. Google Maps is positioning itself as a more grounded competitor against iOS’ native Apple Maps. The live location feature is sharing in the iMessage, a traffic widget for the home screen, and dark mode. Let’s get into the details:

Dark Mode Feature

Sometimes you need to offer your eyes a reprieve, regardless of whether you can’t move away from your different screens. To assist with this issue, numerous gadgets and services have given a dark mode, which turns your background dark and inverts or, in any case, changes the shade of text, so there’s less generally speaking splendor, and you may now have the option to get to a dark mode explicit to Google searches.

The Google search dark mode is at present in beta testing. A presentation setting allows you to apply the new look to the Google landing page and your indexed lists when utilizing the site’s work area or universal adaptation. Google Maps will, at last, be getting a dark mode on iOS, almost two years after Apple carried out dark mode as a feature of iOS 13. The feature, which shows up in the coming weeks, should be welcome for when you’re utilizing the application around evening time or in dark conditions.

How to Enable Dark Mode

  • Go to the settings menu
  • Tap on dark mode, and afterward tap “on.”

Live Location Feature

Live location sharing was at that point conceivable in Google Maps by tapping on the blue speck that shows where you will be and even how much battery life your phone has. Google Maps will share your location for 60 minutes, yet it’s feasible to stretch out to as long as three days. Assuming you need to quit sharing, tap the stop button on the thumbnail.

Google Maps’ current iMessage widget permits users to send GPS directions of their location in iMessage. However, in case you’re attempting to get together with companions, this wouldn’t be just about as helpful as sharing a live location. Apple Maps, as of now, has a comparable feature incorporated into iMessage, so Google is following some guidelines from Apple’s experience to attempt to beat them into an all-alone application. For quite a while, Google Maps was broadly viewed as the unrivaled navigation application, yet in 2018, Apple revamped Maps from the beginning, making it more aggressive. Furthermore, as iOS 15 carries out, Apple Maps will add AR usefulness, better open travel features, more point-by-point maps, and different upgrades.

A Traffic Widget Feature

Google Maps says that one of its most remarkable features is the capacity to see live traffic conditions in an area. Now, users with the most recent Google Maps application will want to add a traffic widget to their home screen, rapidly sharing what traffic resembles in their area. Likewise, the widget permits users to set continuous objections, similar to home, work, or the service station, and explore those spots with simply a tap.

Through this feature, The application will uphold widgets and will offer two unique choices: one that shows the traffic conditions close to you and another that has shortcuts for Google Maps’ inquiry bar and places like your home or eateries close to you.

The widgets have effectively been carried out to me, and I saw that my shortcuts varied from those displayed in the above press picture. A Google representative said that is because the shortcuts are customized depending on an assortment of variables, similar to your location, saved spots, interests, and past searches.

As Google Maps and Apple Maps contend with turning into the best navigation application, a far-fetched competitor comes in Snapchat, which has made a more friendly encounter on its Snap Map. Last week, Snapchat added the My Places feature to the Snap Map, which assists users with discovering new spots to visit depending on the action of different users in their area.
