Google Maps Features to Ease Thanksgiving Travel
Published at | Updated at
Google(NEW YORK) — Google Maps released a few new updates this month that could come in handy just in time for the Thanksgiving rush.
The latest iteration of the Google Maps app for Android now offers users the weather. While it’s not necessarily that helpful for traveling to Grandma’s house 20 miles away, having the extra guidance could make all the difference for holiday road trips.
Another subtle but helpful Android update: Tap the pin that comes up for your destination, and you’ll be treated to more details about the area.
The small changes, which were first noticed by Android Police, come shortly after Google unveiled an aesthetic overhaul of the Maps experience.
Aside from the new bold colors and layered experience, the latest Google Maps also includes Open Table integration, making it that much easier to make reservations.
