Google has today updated its official Maps for Android application in India. In terms of added functionality, this upgrade brings support for live traffic information in the following cities: Kolkata, Coimbatore, Lucknow, Surat, Thiruvananthapuram, Indore, Ludhiana, Visakhapatnam, Nagpur, Kochi, Madurai and Bhopal.
The service now has the facility to furnish users with traffic conditions for all national highways and expressways. However, users will need to opt-into this feature. Once enabled, a color key Traffic overlay will cover the map providing details on congestion levels for planned routes.
Here’s how it works:
“Green means there are no traffic delays on the road, orange indicates a medium amount of traffic and red alerts represent heavier traffic congestion.”
Google will use the real-time traffic information to estimate the time of arrival at your desired destination, and suggest alternative routes that are not as congested.
