Google Maps, one of Google’s most popular services, surpassed Waze in 2019 to become the world’s most used navigation and mapping application. Of course, Google engineers are constantly improving their software and adding new features to maintain this first place.
If you remember, we mentioned that the feature added to Google Maps in the past months, where you can save fuel by selecting the engine type of your vehicle, is available in our country. Today, Google has introduced some new features.
You will be able to search while using Live View
The Live View update, introduced by Google in the past months, is finally available today. Thanks to this feature, which Google introduced a few years ago, you can use the AR feature of your phone to see the cafes, restaurants and other locations around you from the camera and get 3D directions. However, you could not search while using this feature before. Thanks to the update that came today, you will be able to search while using the Live View feature.
The search feature of Live View is currently only available in Los Angeles, London, New York, Paris, San Francisco and Tokyo, but some users who are currently using the Beta version of Google Maps can also experience this feature in our country. In our tests, we can say that this feature does not work very stable in our country at the moment. However, the fact that the feature is available in our country indicates that this feature will be available to all users in our country in the near future.
You will be able to see the stations that will fast charge your vehicle.
In addition, another feature coming to Google Maps is the kind that will delight electric car owners. Thanks to this feature, which has been made available all over the world, users will be able to choose which charging port their electric vehicle has in the settings section of the phone, and when searching for a charging station, they will be able to filter only the stations that have fast charging. In order to use the feature, you need to have the latest version of the Google Maps application. Then all you have to do is enter the settings section of the application and select the charging types that your vehicle supports from the “Electric vehicle settings” section.
Google also introduced the “Accessible places” feature, prepared for individuals using wheelchairs, all over the world with this update. Thanks to this feature, individuals will be able to see buildings and locations on the map that they can easily enter and exit using a wheelchair.
