Google started making it easier to navigate to work and favorite places with the addition of the Trip tab in 2018. More recently, it considered replacing it with a Go tab, which includes the latter and a few other options. to get you to places you’re most likely to go, as well as a list of the nearest transit lines, stations, and stops. The company seems happy with its test, as it is rolling it out globally.

The new Go tab makes it easier to navigate to frequently visited places, as it lists the destinations you’re likely to be going to, like your school, grocery store, or gym. It also conveniently lists traffic trends and ETA, so you don’t have to type in the location address. The maps can also list departure and arrival times, as well as provide you with disruption alerts for your pinned transit routes. You’ll also be able to pin driving routes for similar updates, and even compare them with other methods of transportation.

The Go tab will be rolling out gradually over the next few weeks, so be patient if you don’t already have it.
