Google Maps. An incredible new feature is ready for the iPhone and Android application that many users are using at the moment, and extremely many will want to benefit from what it will offer. Specifically, Google Maps is developing a new feature that will allow users to see how many free seats are available on the public transport they are waiting for at a station, something that no other navigation application offers in this moment.
Google Maps. Considering that the means of public transport do not report this kind of information somewhere, the data displayed by the application come from the people who travel with the respective means of public transport. You can see below in the image below how the alert that is displayed in the Google Maps application on the phones of those who use it for navigation with public transport looks like, everything being based on the appreciation and sincerity of people.
Google Maps. The new INCREDIBLE Function on iPhone, Android
Google Maps. In the case of the iPhone, this function has been in full testing for several months, while for Android phones it has only just been released for testing, so it will take a little longer until it reaches more users. Since this new function for Google Maps ends up being offered even on phones with the Android operating system, it is quite clear that in the case of the iPhone things went very well for users.
Google Maps. Considering the very large number of people who use navigation information for public transport, the implementation of such a function is extremely useful. The big problem lies in the fact that the information about free places in public transport does not come directly from Google Maps, but from travelers, and this could often generate problems with their accuracy, and users could criticize it.
Google Maps. The new function is currently only available in beta version for some of those who use the online map platform, so it is not known when it will be offered publicly.
