Google Maps is trying to increase the number of new features to maintain its leadership in the mapping applications market. For example, we know that the application will soon benefit from Google’s work on artificial intelligence. Indeed, users will soon be able to chat via GPS. Get personalized recommendations.
In January 2024, Google Maps has another useful feature for hungry users…or the one with teeth. To summarize, restaurant listings now include photos of the dishes and some additional information such as name, price or diet (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.).
Google Maps finally shows weather on Android
And on February 6, 2024, the map app received a new update on Android. With this version 11.113.0104, Google Maps finally shows weather on Android. Better late than never, some might say. This functionality has been available in the iOS version of the app for 4 years for good reason.
Like Apple’s operating system, so a new weather icon has taken its place under the carousel which displays different recommendations for places of interest (restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc.). This little badge is justview current temperature and weather conditions (rain, bright sun, snow, etc.).
Click on it and a map will open with the following: more in-depth and detailed weather informationLike the current temperature in the area, as well as a link where you can consult data on felt temperature, hourly weather forecast, and even air quality.
As our colleagues in the report of the site 9T05Google noted, it is possible that you do not yet have access to this weather badge. No need to worry. This feature is rolling out now. Be sure to keep an eye out for pending updates for Google Maps.
