Google Maps adds feature dedicated to cyclists

According to Traffictechnology Today, Google Maps will use detailed information from TFL to update the cycling navigation algorithm on this application platform, helping users prioritize choosing safer and more bicycle-friendly routes.

The application update also allows taking into account traffic conditions and infrastructure status to suggest the most optimal choice for users.

TFL says these changes to Google Maps could improve the experience and safety of 60 million cycle journeys across London and around the world.

Now, people can use the new features immediately.

According to previous TFL research, one of the main issues affecting cyclists is the lack of cycling-specific planning and navigation tools.

From there, Google worked with TFL's research team and industry experts to address and improve Google Maps' routing system to best suit the cycling community.

Users can now view detailed route information, knowing the road they will be traveling on. In addition, the integration of immersive views also allows road users to preview routes, including lanes and intersections on the road.

In the future, after collecting data and feedback from users, Google Maps will continue to improve and develop new features, contributing to expanding the road network, creating a friendly and safe environment for the bicycle community.
