Google Maps gets new features that will allow users to make ‘greener choices’ while traveling.
Giant Technology has launched environmentally friendly routing that will show the most fuel-efficient route to users other than the fastest route.
In this way users can choose the route that is most suitable for them.
This feature announced by Google through a blog post.
It is said that the new routing model does not only make you go to the destination as soon as possible, but also optimizes lower fuel consumption.
It will also show the relative difference in fuel savings and estimated arrival time (ETA) to the user.
In the case of the same ETA for the fastest and efficient route of fuel, Google Maps will default to the last to reduce carbon emissions.
This feature is now available for Google Maps users in the US.
It’s scrolling to Android and iOS devices.
It is expected to come to Europe next year together with other countries.
Coming soon: Lite Navigation for CyclistGoogle has also announced that it will bring navigation lite for cyclists in the future.
In accordance with Google, the use of cycling referrals on the map has increased by 98% in cities around the world.
With navigation lite, cyclists will be able to quickly see details about their route without having to save the cellphone screen or enter the turn-by-turn navigation.
They will also be able to track the progress of their trip and see ETA updates in real-time at a glance.
Lite navigation will start running after cycling navigation aired on Android and iOS in the coming months.
