During the busiest times of the holiday season, being able to travel and navigate to necessary destinations is how everyone can be a little less stressed before getting to family gatherings or trying to get those last-minute errands done! Luckily, Google Maps has the perfect gift with all of its updates inside!
Live View will now be available in London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Tokyo on Android and IOS. This is as easy as lifting your phone and tapping the camera icon and seeing nearby sites and other places of your interest. You can see what direction they're in and how far away they are, especially the places that aren't in your immediate view. You will also be able to see key information about each spot, like whether or not it's open, how busy it is, and the price range.
"If you have an electric vehicle, with these new updates you will be able to find the best charging station for your car. You will be able to filter for stations that offer your EV's plug type. Both features will be available on Android and IOS in select countries."
Just wait, it gets better! In Google Maps you will be able to see wheelchair-accessible and stair-free places around your area! Just turning on the "Accessible Places" setting in your Google Maps app, you will be able to see the wheelchair icon on business profiles that offer a wheelchair-accessible entrance. You can also see if the place has accessible seating restrooms, and parking.
No, you can stop thinking about traveling and more about the destination!
