Google has released a new update to its Maps application. Three new features are ending in the Maps app.
Whether it’s traffic conditions or quickly finding the right pastry chef on the way to your aunt’s house – Google Maps is a lifesaver in many situations. Just in time for Christmas, Google is announcing three new features. In addition to better organization, these should also bring a lot of fun to users.
In the hustle and bustle of a big city or in a foreign city, using public transportation can often be very confusing. Google Would like to help here with updated trends. Depending on key factors such as arrival time, number of transfers and trip length, the user should find the mode of transportation that suits him or her most specifically. If you prefer to take the bus instead of the train or want to walk a shorter distance, you can customize the route using filters.
Another innovation that makes train travel easier is visualization of the entrances and exits of train stations. In more than 80 cities around the world, passengers can now see the exact side of the street where the entrances are and what the road leading there looks like. This reduces the risk of boarding the wrong train.

The updated List feature now allows you to share favorite places with friends and coordinate shared activities in groups. It has been possible to add emojis to favorite places saved in Google Maps for some time now. For example, you could use the ice skating emoji for the best weekend ice skating spots. With the new update, users can now not only share their favorite places, but can also create shared lists directly. You can then use emojis to vote on this list on where you can meet up to snowboard this weekend.

The third new feature brings a lot of fun. You can now respond to photos, videos and reviews with emojis and thus indicate your approval or disagreement to other users. In some cases, you can create particularly fun blending interactions. For example, if you see a pumpkin muffin that makes your mouth water and respond to it with a Yum emoji, it will blend in with the bread.
According to Google, the three new features will be rolled out to Android and iOS in the next few weeks.
