Google Maps has now updated its app to make it more useful with improvements to the lane guidance feature for Android Auto. Most of us use Google Maps as our primary source of navigation around the city. A common problem that has been mutually shared by users is difficulty navigating through complex highway interchanges or unfamiliar city streets.
In the new update from Google, Android Auto Maps will now have a new design with larger and more spaced arrows along with the dividers. This will help provide a clear visual representation of the number of lanes available and the correct lane you should use. The update will not only save your time and money but will also help you reduce the time you spend looking at your screen. This reduces the risk of possible death and ultimately makes the app a safe choice.
