Regardless of the 8.2 update, the Google Maps app sees its functionality “Explore the environment” greatly improved. The button at the bottom right of the screen when you use the application, Find things to do nearby.
By default, the “Explore” function tells you everything you can find within a 5-minute walking radius, in the purest style of Google Maps: Restaurants, attractions, public transport…
From now on, the button will launch a dropdown menu that allows you to: choose place and time of day As a search criterion instead of the traditional thematic search The real innovation of this tool therefore lies in the display of information. temporal Which button you press based on the weather and the time you use the button.
In fact, seeing the map full of nightclubs in the afternoon was hardly relevant to the detriment of daytime activities. This addition therefore seems consistent.
This is actually a version “in real time” From Google Maps. The exploration area can be changed for up to 15 minutes on foot and up to 10 minutes by car. It is also possible set manually for example, to find out what time of day it is to plan your day based on upcoming events.
You can also drill down to specific locations around the world using the Explore button from a remote location. This can come in handy for getting ready for your vacation or just daydreaming a bit.
Button ” Location “ it will now let you know in which specific place you are. You will be able to view the information provided by the “Discover” function, which is very practical for visiting.
New ‘Explore’ button coming out, hoping to one day be able to use it on Android Wear this week and perhaps it will delight modern adventurers in the hope that there aren’t too many hidden ads.
