After buying up Waze, Google announced they would use the acquisition to improve Google Maps. It hasn’t taken long and we’re already seeing some new features popping up in Maps to make the navigation experience much better. Starting today, Google Maps users will be able to see real-time reported traffic incidents from Waze users, which includes traffic accidents, construction, and a handful of other nuisances. Waze users aren’t being left out of the fun, either, as they’ll get access to Google Search within the Waze app to give users even more results when searching for something, and a new Google Street View feature added to the Waze map editor.
Hopefully this will be the first of many improvements we’ll see across both apps. Anybody going to get a chance to use these apps while travelling today?
