New Features to Help Visually Impaired
There will be different types of verbal announcements that will be beneficial for people who are walking. These features are specially designed for people with vision impairments as they cannot use the already available feature in Google Maps. But it doesn’t mean that this feature cannot be used or helpful for people who are totally normal. They can equally enjoy these features if they want to enjoy screen-free walking experiences. Detailed voice guidance functions the same way as crosswalks. This new feature for walking navigation is coming for both Android and iOS. Right now it will support only English and Japanese but soon it will launch other languages for other companies. So you can enjoy this feature by updating your Google Maps, and enabling this feature from the settings menu. All you need to do is to check the navigation option to enable “Detailed voice guidance” under the “Walking options.” Also Read: Google Maps’ Mixed Mode Feature to Launch Soon
