Yesterday, it coincided with the Google Maps 15th anniversary, and Google Maps ushered in a major update. Not only is the interface redesigned, but many thoughtful functions are also added.
The new feature named "Transit Attributes" will provide people with the status of public places based on detailed information shared by users in the past. For example, whether there is a security guard, whether there is a barrier-free access or seat, whether there is a female carriage, etc. In addition, some information will be updated in real time, such as the temperature of the subway, what events happen around it, etc., which can be pushed in real time. The updated application of
will display five tabs at the bottom of the screen: Browse, Go to and From get off work, Save, Contribute, and Update. Using the "Contribution" tag, people can provide Google with local information such as traffic conditions, etc. "Update" is to use travel guides and other information on local popular landmarks for you. In addition, the icons of Google Maps have also been redesigned this time, which is more consistent with Google's LOGO in terms of color.
In addition, Google also said it will launch a new feature "Live View" on a large scale in the next few months. This feature utilizes virtual reality augmentation technology to overlay digital navigation into the real world. This means that Google's map navigation will be more convenient, and for people with weak sense of direction, this feature will quickly help them find their target location. And use the camera to display navigation to directly tell you where you are going, which is simpler and easier to understand for all people.
