Google Maps Working on a New Feature to Show Brightly Lit Streets
Google Maps is reportedly working on a feature to highlight brightly lit streets in the awarding. The characteristic was offset spotted by XDA Developers in an APK teardown of the map application.
The feature is an effort from Google to make night-time travel and commute safer for users by helping them avert streets with poor lighting. It's reportedly named 'Lighting' and will testify brightly lit streets in yellow color, co-ordinate to lawmaking found during the teardown.
Since this feature was spotted in a teardown, there's no telling when (or if) it will always actually see the light of day (no pun intended), but it does await like it could be a handy tool to make users feel safer. It likewise falls in line with Google's recent attempts at making Google Maps better at ensuring condom of its users. The company had earlier added a 'Stay Safer' feature in India that warned users if their cab driver went off-road on a trip.
There's also no telling whether Google will curl this feature out globally, or in specific-regions. Withal, India seems like a country where this feature should brand an appearance, considering the many cases of sexual harassment and set on in the country, and the fact that street-lighting here is extremely poor.
Like I mentioned earlier, there'southward no guarantee that this characteristic will ever exist rolled out, and information technology could only be an internal test Google is running. Still, we'll proceed you updated regarding this, and other updates to the Google Maps app.
