Google Maps will incorporate reports on weather incidents.
Avoid snow-covered roads.
Google Maps is introducing new features designed to help drivers tackle road issues related to weather conditions. Recently, it has been noted that the app has added new types of reports, including flooded roads, low visibility, and uncleared roads. These tools will allow users to report such incidents in a similar manner to how they report the presence of police or broken-down vehicles when using Google’s navigation system.
At the moment, this feature is being implemented solely in Google Maps for Android Auto and in the Google Maps app for iPhone. It is expected to be available for Android users in the near future.
In recent times, Google Maps has rolled out various new features and tools. For example, since the end of last year, community reports from Waze, another platform also owned by Google, have been incorporated. Additionally, the option to search for saved places and customize vehicle icons has been introduced.
The inclusion of reports related to weather conditions could be of great benefit to drivers looking to avoid hazards on their routes. Therefore, safe driving is recommended, and it’s important to stay alert to reports related to weather conditions.
