Google Maps will tell you when your friends arrive or leave from a location

A new function that Google added to its Maps app alerts you when a friend or relative arrives at or departs from a given place. For instance, you can ask to be informed when your friend arrives at the site if you’re waiting for them to meet you at a performance. The individual whose notifications you want to receive must first give you access to their location, they will be informed when you make the request and may choose to reject it.

Information on the detailed cycling route

You will shortly be able to check bike routes to decide which direction to go if you commute almost entirely by bike. Additionally, you’ll be able to view the elevation change along the way, the level of traffic, and whether there are any steep slopes or steps. The route will indicate if you’ll be motorcycling on a highway or a small town street.

Google announced that it would begin introducing this new function in the cities where bike directions are accessible in the upcoming weeks.
