Yesterday, on the 15th anniversary of Google Maps, Google Maps received a major update , not only with a redesigned interface, but also with the addition of many thoughtful features .

The new feature called "Transit Attributes" will provide people with information about the status of public places based on detailed information shared by users in the past, such as whether there are security guards, whether there are barrier-free passages or seats, whether there are women's carriages, etc. In addition, some information will be updated in real time, such as the temperature of the subway, what events are happening around, etc., which can be pushed in real time.

The updated app will display five tabs at the bottom of the screen: "Browse," "Commute," "Save," "Contribute," and "Update." Using the "Contribute" tab, people can provide Google with local information, such as traffic conditions. "Update" updates you with local popular landmark information using travel guides, etc. In addition, the Google Maps icon has also been redesigned this time, and the color is more consistent with the Google LOGO .

In addition, Google also said that it will launch a new feature "Live View" on a large scale in the next few months . This feature uses virtual reality enhancement technology to overlay digital navigation on the real world. This means that Google's map navigation will be more convenient. For people with a weak sense of direction, this feature will help them find their target location quickly. And using the camera to display navigation and directly tell you where to go is easier to understand for everyone.
