JAKARTA Google Maps got a lot of updates over the past few months. Although the upgrade has been a lot, Google has again added useful updates to its users. There are two updates Google added to Google Maps for Android devices. This update includes road highlights that will be displayed on maps and features that make it easier for Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLUs). As Smart Droid discovered some time ago, users of the latest version of Google Maps could convert gas charging filters for cars into SPKLUs. To implement this filter, users must set the shape of the vehicle in Settings. In your Vehicle menu section, users must change the vehicle model to electric. When it returns to the main view of Maps, users will not see filters for Gas Station searches as it has changed to Filling Stations. This update has actually been launched on Android Auto since last year, but has only been extended to Android devices recently. Although it has been launched, this feature update has not been available on all devices with Android systems. Next, Google changed Maps' ability to highlight the search road. Previously, when the user looked for a road with a blue spot. However, this point was replaced with a line in the latest Maps version.

This line is still blue and highlights the road more clearly. This display was originally only applied to web applications and searches via Google Search, but has now been extended to the original app on Android devices. Just like filters to search for SPKLU, the spotlight of this map has not been expanded to all countries. Apparently, Google is still rolling out its changes in stages. Unfortunately, there is no information on when this update will be visible on iOS phones.
