From route to EV charging stations and ticket booking; check top 3 new Google Maps features

Google Maps is an excellent tool for users because it provides real-time navigation, traffic updates, and information about local businesses. 

For instance, you can easily get directions to a restaurant, check how busy it is, and find the quickest route to avoid traffic. 

Google continually updates its platform to ensure users have easy access to the latest features. Recently, Google Maps has introduced several new features that are incredibly useful. 

Route

First, the updated directions feature now shows you which route to take, including whether you should use flyovers or surface streets.

Previously, this option wasn't available. Additionally, it now highlights narrow roads on the map, helping you make more informed decisions about your route.

EV Charging Stations

Another new feature is the ability to find EV charging stations. The map now displays locations of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and indicates whether they are available or free.

This is particularly helpful as electric vehicles become more common.

Metro Ticket Booking

Lastly, Google Maps has added a feature that allows you to book metro tickets directly through the app.

As of now, this service is available for Kochi Metro and Chennai Metro, according to recent reports.
