The search giant is betting on giving Google Maps many new features. This improves this service and makes it much more than what we are used to seeing. Now, very soon, Google will give its mapping service a new functionality. We’re talking about the weather forecast built into the Google Maps interface.
There have been many new features on Google Maps in recent months. There is a lot of it in its interface, which the brand tries to revamp frequently and thus make it more interesting. There are still some changes in the way we interact with settings, but without major changes.
Latest News is setting up Google Maps to be a true “all-in-1” offering that users can explore to the fullest. You want to increase the information in your window and thus become more useful to everyone who uses this suggestion.
This news has now been revealed, albeit unofficially. It was Telegram's Google News channel that featured a photo shared by another user. This allows you to see a new icon on the map, with the weather forecast for that location, in a simple and summarized way.
By clicking on this icon, users can access more detailed data about the weather forecast for that location. You can see the weather forecast for the next few hours, with weather conditions, temperature and times when this information will occur. They can also access air quality information at that location.
In fact, this data was already displayed in the iOS version of Google Maps. The search giant is now extending this functionality to the version dedicated to Android, to create a truly universal and equal proposition for all users.
This is information that many people will definitely want to take into consideration. Some already present it as a visualization layer, but without the detail now displayed. It's not known when, but Google Maps for Android should receive this new feature, hopefully very soon.
