Google Maps has made checking the traffic before heading out a regular reflex — and now, it’s offering the same insight into the air quality in your area. In aWednesday, employees from Google Maps and Google Search shared a new Air Quality layer that can be used to monitor this metric. To view it, you can open Google Maps on Android or iOS and click the “Layers” icon in the top right corner of the screen—the same button you would select to switch into satellite or street view mode. Now, you’ll be offered a new option to add air quality information onto your map. When selected, you’ll see numbers pop up across the map, telling you the Air Quality Index, or AQI, from readings in those regions.
