Google Maps is about to get the best Waze feature – BGR

Google Maps is probably one of the must-have apps on any phone, be it Android or iPhone. It's already a fact, but Google has just updated Maps on Android, bringing a new design and new features to the loyal users of Maps.

Waze, also owned by Google, is perhaps the second most important navigation app on Google. your phone. It's not as rich in knowledge as Google Maps, but for many drivers, Waze offers an even better browsing experience because it provides a vital feature that's not available on Google Maps. Well, it has not been available, but it seems that Google will do it soon.

Waze offers real-time cooperation between drivers. You can report any type of problem you encounter on your way, including accidents, roadblocks, police sightings and speed traps, to name a few. The more people use Waze, the more data you have about what awaits them. And this kind of information can dramatically speed up your journey.

Google is apparently well aware of the utility of navigation data from the crowd, and is ready to bring this level of user interaction to Google Maps. In fact, some Google Maps users on Android have already spotted incident report prompts, which will instantly remind you of Waze. Android Police first noticed the code of these incident reports while destroying Google Maps v9.79, but incident reports are now online for some lucky users :

As you can see in the image above, you will see exactly what type of incident was reported on the road ahead and when it was released. You will also be able to interact with the notification and update it with more relevant information. After all, this feature only works on Waze as long as users add new reports and update or delete existing ones. The same thing will happen on Google Maps.

The screenshots above show only reports of road works and closed jobs, but crashes, speed cameras and speed interruptions will also be supported

your Android device, you probably soon, so keep trying. I hope that the iPhone will integrate Waze into Google Maps.
