Upcoming Google Maps Update Will Let You Know When To Deboard Public Transport

One of the best things about Google Maps is that not only does it show you directions and information related to places around you, but it also keeps public transport in mind. A new update to Google Maps is soon going to let the users know when it is the time to get off the train or bus that they are on.

Basically, Google Maps on Android will be giving you real-time updates while you are on a transit journey. Moreover, these updates will be shown to you on your lock-screen too – so that you know when it’s time to get off without even having to open the map. While most of us are familiar with public transport in our cities, this feature is particularly helpful when you’re at a new place.

These lock screen notifications on Google Maps are also new – and a useful feature too. These notifications are interactive and will allow you to scroll through your journey and let you know what stops are coming up next.
