Google Maps users on Android devices can now enjoy a significant speed boost when navigating, thanks to a subtle yet impactful update.
Upon launching the app and tapping the microphone icon in the search bar, users are greeted with a new “faster way” to search on Maps. Simply vocalize your destination, and an improved Google Assistant swiftly provides directions, even suggesting the quickest mode of transport when requested.
With the enhanced Google Assistant implementation, asking for directions using voice commands feels much quicker. Notably, as you speak, a prominent readout displays everything you said, allowing you to identify and correct misinterpretations promptly.
