Google Maps can assist in locating nearby points of interest that fit particular criteria. On Tuesday, Google announced an additional beneficial feature for Google Maps that allows the app to visualize the road and lanes, offering real-time instructions to change lanes to ensure you don’t miss your exit.
Navigation applications like Google Maps already offer insights regarding turns and exits, but it is the responsibility of the driver to guarantee they are adhering to the route and are positioned in the correct lane for a specific exit. The feature introduced by Google on Tuesday is designed to simplify navigation for drivers, as Google Maps will now give visual signals for lane changes prior to reaching your exit. Although this feature proves advantageous, Google Maps users should be aware of a limitation. The feature is not accessible to the majority of users.
Only owners of the Polestar 4 in the U.S. and Sweden will have the opportunity to utilize the live lane guidance feature being launched today. Moreover, the feature will initially function solely on highways. Google plans to extend it to additional vehicle models in the future, but in its announcement, the company referred only to the Polestar collaboration. This feature will eventually work with various road types as Google enhances its capabilities.
