Google Maps is finally getting THE feature you’ve always wanted

They rely too much on using Google maps because the company doesn’t have such a system of their own.

The support for multiple stops was pushed to users on Android in another recent update to Google Maps and now iPhone users can also benefit from using this helpful feature.

Now it won’t actually point out to users where they can park, although that would be awesome, but it will break down the ease of parking into “Easy”, “Medium”, and “Limited”. We don’t know what exactly makes up the criteria. It would be really great if it could change depending on the time of the day or if the place you want to go is crowded.

Uber starts scanning the streets across U.S. using mapping vehicles, these cars can track the geographical place of each highway and motorway.

This feature has always been available on the web version of Google Maps, first introduced in 2015, but has taken an inordinate amount of time to make the jump to mobile. It can be used on the computer, but also on your smartphone (IOS, Android, Windows Phone).

Elsewhere in the 9.34 beta, Google has fixed an issue that meant users could accidentally reorient the map with an errant swipe. One very useful feature is route planning, that can be used no matter if you are travelling by foot, auto or public transportation.

Although this feature isn’t live on the app yet, we’re also seeing elements in the code that seem to indicate a coming feature that will let you know how hard it is to park at your intended destination before you arrive.

We will see if this new update will help the drivers get to their destination sooner. When permitted, the key feature will keep North up, so that you evermore know what’s everything. The biggest one is parking difficulty, which will give you info on parking availability at your destination.
