Compared with Apple Maps, many iPhone users still prefer to use Google Maps for navigation. However, in the past, Google Maps often reported routes in the form of directions. For users who have arrived and are not familiar with the place, the directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest are not directly helpful for navigation to the correct route, but can also cause confusion because of the directions. However, Taiwan finally supports the function of reporting road names on Google Maps!
Google Maps can finally report road names! Navigation no longer hears direction directions such as heading northeast
Whether driving or biking, many people choose to use map apps for navigation, which not only help them find the fastest route, estimate their destination, but also understand the latest road conditions. However, for those who are road crazy, using the navigation to announce road names on the road can help them understand which intersection they want to turn at or continue. The Map APP is an essential app for successfully reaching their destination. However, Apple Maps has long been able to report road names. Before Google Maps, drivers often used “directions” to indicate where they should go.
But from now on, as long as the Google Maps APP is updated to a version after 6.107.3, road names can be announced during navigation!
Compared with the past Google Maps navigation, the voice broadcast of road names often used “to the northeast” or other directions of southeast, northwest and other directions. Since it is difficult for ordinary drivers to distinguish directions when driving or riding a bicycle, such a direction broadcast method can easily make drivers confused about where to go when driving through complex streets. Now that the road name broadcast function has been updated and opened, drivers can use the route with the road name clearly broadcast, and they are not afraid of going off the wrong intersection or getting on the wrong elevated road due to unclear broadcasts and making a long detour.
In fact, Google Maps navigation reporting of road names was first launched in the United States in February this year. Unexpectedly, it will finally be supported in Taiwan! This is very convenient for drivers who often drive or ride bicycles. The navigation experience is much better than before. Voice prompts can be used to describe in detail which intersection to turn at, how to get up and down the interchange, and which direction to walk in. However, in addition to Google Maps, the current map navigation function of Apple Maps is also much better than before. When choosing which map APP to use for navigation, you can first try to use Google Maps or Apple Maps alternately during commuting, and choose the one that is more comfortable for you!
In fact, in addition to reporting road names, Apple last fallTaiwan Apple Maps now supports “Look Around”, an immersive Taiwan street view exploration feature,let Apple Maps users will see a convenient feature in the APP that allows them to view surrounding street views in 3D.While long-pressing the map to place the pin, you will see a small window button showing the real street view of the location. After clicking it, you will enter the street view interface that allows you to look around in 3D and look around.
