Maps now shows the best area to seat on the train for a faster exit… not that we had all that memorised already anyway 👀

Oh and once again we can navigate using commute in the background (i.e we can use other parks of Google Maps without exiting navigation). They had disabled that feature for London for some reason.

  1. I’ve recently been to Tokyo and they do this for all the metro lines. Plus tell you which entrance and exit to use at the stations. It was a life saver when trying to navigate the busiest stations in the world!

    Happy this is in London as well now

  2. Citymapper is still superior for tracking public transport journeys and giving accurate ETA based on real time information. Would use google for driving or walking routes.

  3. The feature I really want is the ability to set walking speed. Google won’t tell me about trains and buses I could easily catch because it assumes I walk like a leper. 

  4. Actually more annoying as now others will know the shortest route

  5. Right. All the anxious will crowd these parts of the train, making it more spacious for me, who doesn’t mind a few extra steps. Smashing.

  6. This knowledge should be earned, not given. It is what separates the locals from the tourists.
