Google Maps Gets an All-New Commute Tab

In the last 18 months, Google Maps has come a long way- especially in the app’s user interface. Today, Google Maps got a new Commute tab which will be sitting on the bottom portion of the app’s home screen between Explore and For You tabs. Once you set the daily commute, the tab provides one-tap access to live traffic and transit information. With this, users can save a lot of time, especially those in the busy cities of India such as Bengaluru, Mumbai or New Delhi.

In the case of a delay on your daily commute, Google Maps will suggest you alternative routes to help you get to work faster. On Android, you’ll also receive notifications about delays and disruptions on your route as they happen, so you can know about an incident before you get caught up in the delay.
