Google also plays a fundamental role in the field of services and apps for Android and iOS devices. We use some of its services daily for the most important operations, such as Google Maps.
Let’s talk about Google Maps because they have emerged in the last few hours important details about what we might see in the future in Google’s popular navigation and maps app.
Over the last few years we have seen Google pay particular attention to the aspect of road navigation, probably because it is a service that has become now essential for all Android users and beyond. First we saw it coming assisted driving modedirectly integrated into Android.
This mode had the objective of making practically automatic the use of the interface optimized for driving instead of Android Auto, especially for those devices equipped with small displays.
Over the last few years this method has been supplanted by the emerging one Maps driving mode.
This mode is activated automatically while driving once you start navigation via Google Maps. Also in this case the interface has as its priority the increase in road safety by going to reduce potential risks for safe driving.
Google Maps driving mode.
Well, Maps’ driving mode also stands for set. According to the latest details that emerged from the teardown performed on the most recent version of the Google app for Android, BigG will soon render it inactive activating Google Maps driving mode.
We therefore expect that the only one optimized interface for the guide it will be accessible via Google Assistant on Android devices. Hard to say because Google decided to abandon Maps driving mode. The usage statistics probably weren’t particularly rosy.
