Reserve your Z Fold 6 or Z Flip 6 now and get $50 of instant Samsung credit and a chance to win $5,000!for a new Google Maps feature that will help a group of people driving to the same location receive navigation and turn-by-turn directions to this one destination. With the unwieldy title of"providing navigation instructions to one device in view of another device," the innovation here delivers"group navigation" to Google Maps users.
Even better, Google Maps will be able to use traffic conditions obtained from the lead vehicle to alert the others about traffic jams, accidents, and when an alternative route is necessary to avoid a huge delay. The lead vehicle can also give the others information on where to park which will allow the other members of the group to know in advance of their arrival where they should park their cars.
Eventually, Google Maps could recommend speed adjustments so that all members of a group will arrive at the destination at the same time. The patent application also suggests Google Maps could add a voice chat application which would allow the members of a group to communicate with each other during the journey.
