13 TIPS to get the MAX from GOOGLE MAPS
toll price
Until now Google Maps he was just telling us if a highway was toll or not, but soon he will tell us too the price of tolls for each journey, so that we can decide whether it is worth paying this amount to reach the destination earlier. This option must be activated from the navigation options.
Google Maps will start showing toll prices for nearly 2,000 toll roads in USA India, Japan and Indonesiabut depending on the company soon there will be more countrieswith which we hope that the price of tolls will soon reach Europe.
More detailed maps
Google is improving its navigation maps, offering more detail like building outlines, areas of interest, and most importantly, the traffic lights and stop signs. Since last year, Google Maps already shows the location of traffic lights in Europe, but not during navigation. In the next few days now during the guided navigation we will also see traffic lights and stop signs on the screen.
In some cities we will also see even more detailed information like the shape and width of a road, medians and islands. These details will help drivers understand where they are and reduce last minute lane changes due to misreading the map.
The new navigation map will arrive in the next few weeks in some countries, but Google has not detailed the list of countries, so we will have to be attentive to see if in Europe we start to see traffic lights and stop signs while browsing.
