Last year, Google developers embarked on a mission to revolutionize the way we use Google Maps.
With the introduction of Immersive View, they’ve taken a significant leap forward in improving our navigation experience.
This feature, along with others like "Glanceable" directions, has solidified Maps as a top contender among navigation apps on Android and iPhone.
Despite being announced last year, Glanceable directions seemed to have fallen off the radar. But now, this game-changing feature is making its debut, bringing essential navigation details like real-time ETA and turn-by-turn directions straight to your lock screen.
Google Maps has long been a guide for travelers worldwide. However, the need to frequently unlock your phone to check directions can be a distraction, particularly when driving. Glanceable Directions is Google’s innovative solution to this issue.
This feature allows you to preview a detailed, turn-by-turn route before starting navigation. It provides a comprehensive overview of the journey ahead, ensuring you’re familiar with the path before setting off. Once you begin your trip and hit the Start Navigation button, the convenience continues.
It’s worth noting that, by default, this valuable feature is inactive, which might explain why its presence has gone undetected for some time. However, once you enable "Glanceable" directions, with a simple glance, you can stay informed about your journey without the hassle of unlocking your phone.
The rollout of Glanceable directions may have taken longer than anticipated, but its arrival is a welcome enhancement to Google Maps. It promises a safer, more convenient way to navigate, especially when driving. As we look to the future, we hope Google will continue to refine and expedite the deployment of such valuable features.
