While Google Maps has the ability to map a route out for you, whether you plan on walking or driving, it might not always be the best possible route one can take, but thanks to a recent update to its iOS app, users will be able to tell if said route will be a better one or not and decide for themselves if that’s the route they plan on taking. According to the update which was rolled out for iOS users recently, it will show users a miniature route preview with traffic overlays, giving users an easier choice of routes at a glance. Granted users were always able to choose the best route themselves, but now more information has been presented at a glance and it’s these small conveniences that usually makes a difference.
Other updated features include a Tips and Tricks section for newbies to the app, along with additional language support for both Arabic and Hebrew, and as expected there are a bug fixes that came along with the update as well. The app is free for download for those who have yet to check it out for their iOS device, and the update can be pulled directly from the iTunes App Store if you haven’t updated your app already.
