For the first time since 2020, Google has introduced a major update to make using maps more enjoyable. Now you will not only be able to get directions on Google Maps, but you will also be able to customize the virtual vehicle that represents you on the map according to your personal preference. So, which innovations are we talking about? Details are in our news…
Google Maps adds 5 new navigation tools and 8 new colors
The new version of Google Maps, which was released the other day, offers five different vehicle models and eight different color options for users to customize their vehicle icons. The new options include sedans, SUVs, jeeps, hatchbacks and electric vehicles.
In particular, the electric vehicle icon will appeal to those who use environmentally friendly transportation. The color options also include popular shades such as white, black, green, red and blue. With this feature, you will not only be able to see your car on the road, but you will also be able to choose one that suits your style on Google Maps.
For example, let’s say you have an electric vehicle. You can navigate with an electric icon on your map; those who prefer SUVs will be able to continue with an icon that better expresses themselves. According to reports, Google’s customization move will provide users with a wider range of personalization possibilities, making it more fun to use maps.
These innovations may seem like a small touch for some users, but it’s a nice improvement for users who are constantly on the road and exposed to the same screen. What do you think about these innovations? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
