Google has developed a new navigation feature that will allow travel companions to travel together more effectively. This innovative feature aims to facilitate coordination among users who start from different starting points but want to go to the same destination. The feature is named ‘Providing Navigation on One Device as Seen on Another Device‘.
With this new system, the first driver can set their route to a predetermined destination and then invite other participants to the same point. Personalized directions and estimated arrival times will be provided for each participant. However, to benefit from this feature, users must be members of Google.
New Navigation Feature Updating Traffic Information
Google will not only provide directions with this navigation system, but will also offer dynamically updated alternative routes based on traffic conditions. This will prevent users from experiencing significant delays in case of possible traffic jams, accidents, or other unexpected events. The first vehicle can inform other vehicles about available parking spots and even give speed recommendations to reach the destination.
Additionally, this feature will allow group members to communicate with each other during the journey. Whether Google will incorporate this feature into the Maps app is not yet certain. However, such an innovation could generate significant interest, especially among those traveling to common destinations.
