Google Inc(NASDAQ:GOOG) has extended its Google Maps
with navigation support to Mexico, the company announced on Wednesday via the
Twitter handle @GoogleMexico.
Google Maps are already available in countries such as
France, Germany, Denmark, Hong Kong, and dozens of other locations.
The app is currently in beta, but as many users can
attest to, however, it works exceptionally well.
Navigation can be launched by tapping the blue
triangle icon, at which point one will be presented with a few different
options, including viewing starred locations and adding directions, Slash Gear
reported.
Directions can be either typed or spoken, something
more convenient for those times you need last minute help while behind the
driver’s wheel, it said.
Users can utilise the app in a variety of situations
toggling between driving and walking for elderly and infirm people.
Certain requirements can be specified when getting
directions, such as only routes that avoid toll roads or highways. Navigation can
also be used to view a map with one’s present location, which is tracked with a
blue dot as the user moves around, Slash Gear said.
