New feature Google is testing will show the entrances to a building in Google Maps،
Google Maps not only helps you get from point “A” to point “B” quickly and safely, but the app will also show you where you can have a nice meal, find a room to stay the night, watch a movie or attend a live performance. , and visit the local monuments once you arrive at “B”. Google Maps still feels competition from the sometimes superior Apple Maps, which excels at telling the driver exactly when to turn (e.g., “turn left at the next stop sign” rather than “turn left in 3/4 mile.” from Google Map). ).
And of course, Google Maps still faces competition from crowdsourced navigation
app Waze, which is also owned by Google. Waze is travel-focused and helps you escape construction, traffic, bad weather, and the smoke lurking in the woods near the highway exit. Those with an Android phone will most likely use Google Maps, but I would suggest
iPhone users try Apple Maps, as you might be pleasantly surprised.
Google is testing entrance markings on buildings you zoom in on on Google Maps
That said, Google is testing a feature that will show entrances to a building when that building is selected on a map and you zoom in on the building. Entrances are marked by a white round circle with an arrow pointing to a half rectangle indicating an open door.
Android Font searched Google Maps for entries in cities like New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Berlin. Examining supermarkets, office buildings, cafes and restaurants, he discovered that entrances were marked for some locations and not others.
This would suggest that Google is still working on this new feature. For some buildings, entrances are marked with a green arrow inside a white circle. Hopefully this feature will be available to all Android users soon, because getting directions to a building is one thing. Knowing where to go to get into that building is another. Knowing where the entrance to a building is can help you find a parking space near the entrance.
