Dear LGs, I hope you all are doing well. Today, I will going to share about my opinion on new features of Google Maps, that I used recently.
Everyone cannot be perfect, everyone has to be made perfect, which also includes Google Maps, these days we see complaints about this too in newspapers or online media.
Look, Google Maps has changed a lot since before. It will change even more in the coming years. User experience, navigation systems and 360° Street View, all these things.
Here I used two features, which I found the best. i.e. -
- Call-out features
In this features, I used flyover, road estimation or road report. What used to happen earlier was that whenever we were about to reach a flyover, we could not know exactly in Google Maps whether we have to go on the flyover or take the service road below the flyover. But now with the new feature it is clearly known whether we have to go via the flyover or the service road.

Similarly, it happens in road estimation feature also, in this you get to know whether your road is four lane or two lane or one way. And in road report, you can know from the name itself what to report on it, whether the road is bad somewhere, or there has been an accident there, or road construction work is going on.
- Live View
This live view feature is amazing, I have only used it recently, it is very good. Especially its 3D view, in which it is giving directions, that you are going in this direction and you are going in the right direction. And repeatedly giving signals that you should walk on the side of the road, otherwise an accident may occur. Google is silently making its products very brilliant and especially through AI.
