Google Maps for Android Auto users can now take advantage of Waze integration. To receive community reports directly on their screen.
Google Maps is getting ready to receive a major update in its version for Android Auto. This update is currently being implemented and is already available for some users.
With the new version of Maps, Android Auto users will be able to access reports from the Waze community directly from the Google navigation service app (which has owned Waze for over 10 years).
This is a long-awaited innovation that aims to make the Maps application on Android Auto even more complete. Let’s see the details regarding this latest innovation.
What’s changing for Google Maps
With the new update, Google maps becomes more and more integrated with Waze in its version for Android Auto . Now usable even on cars that do not support it .
For users who use this version of the Google Maps application. In fact, there will be the possibility of obtaining constant updates from the Waze community even without having to access the app itself. The system joins the one already integrated into Google Maps (but little used by users) that allows you to send reports to the rest of the community.
According to the first user testimonials, the reports from Waze will appear directly on the screen and will be characterized by the indication “ From Waze drivers ” which in Italian could be rendered with a more generic “ Dagli utenti Waze” . It will be necessary to wait for the next few weeks to be able to verify the functioning of the system also in Italy. The release of the new mechanism starts in the United States.
The one described is one of the new features coming to Google Maps in the near future. The service is destined to register several improvements including an increasingly close link with artificial intelligence which, combined with the reports of Waze users, will be able to help drivers during navigation, in various ways.
Coming soon for all users
In any case, this new integration with Waze for Google Maps for Android Auto is not new as Google. itself had already announced, its intention to introduce such a function. In the future ,the Apple Car Play version will also benefit from a similar system that will increasingly tie the Waze community with Google Maps.
Again, we will know more about this in the near future. The operating system should be, essentially, the same. For all Maps users, in the future, it will be possible to obtain road information more easily and clearly through the reports of the Waze community that will appear on the screen of your car.https://youtu.be/K2PMtdje3m0?si=1IWnwyy6xQm4QWjt
Google intends to make Maps more and more a point of reference for drivers. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to provide users with an increasingly rich and complete range of services, capable of fully satisfying all possible needs. The integration of Waze represents a further step forward that confirms how the development and growth of Maps, on Android Auto and in the future also for Car Play, continues. We will see what Google’s next moves will be for its map service.
