Google Maps is working on an interesting update that will help users plan their trips better. Reports suggest that the mapping app will now tell you which roads have toll gates and how much you will have to pay as toll tax. This will help you to make the right decision whether you want to take tollgate road or not. This feature is reportedly in its early stages, and it is too early to predict when the feature will be available in all countries.
The upcoming Google Maps feature can be very beneficial for the users. Often when you set out on a journey, you are surprised to see so many toll gates on the way. Google Maps is able to provide you with information on how much your total toll will cost and how many toll gates will come your way, so you can easily decide whether you want to take that road full of toll gates. . This feature can also help in saving the time of the users.
Google has not yet shared any official information about this feature. But the Android Police report states that the Google Maps Preview program will give the members complete information about the road, bridge, and toll tax on the way through navigation. A member of the Google Maps Preview Program members said that Google Maps provides accurate information about all the toll taxes on the way. In this, before the users can select the route, this user will be shown the complete map.
What is Waze Mapping Feature?
This could be another feature that Google can take from a mapping app called Waze, which it acquired in 2013. Waze Displays estimated upcoming toll prices. The app started showing estimated tolls three years before Google started testing the feature. The Waze mapping feature is only available in Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Israel, Latvia, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Puerto Rico, Slovenia, Spain, Uruguay, and the US.
It is not yet clear how Google plans to implement this feature. It has not been told in the reports whether Google will launch this feature only in the US or it has plans to launch this feature in India as well.
