Google Maps has become one of the most important applications of Google, at the level of the search engine and YouTube, because it is tremendously practical and precise and because it gives more and more complete directions.

If in the past Maps started to include real-time traffic, then the available parking lots in an area and later accidents and how far radars are on the road, your latest news is even more incredible: you know where a traffic light is .

Traffic lights on Google Maps

Unfortunately, it is not yet up to date enough to know if it is red, amber or green , but it goes without saying that only if the application knows it, but does not show it, new more precise travel routes could be made taking consider the state of the traffic lights or the number of them.

At the moment, it is a feature available to very few users, but the specialized page DroidLife has been able to access it and take screenshots of its operation. On paper, it's very simple: when you reach a traffic light-regulated intersection, it will display an icon of the above .

Google for now has only included this novelty in the Android version of its mobile application, but it should not take long to reach iPhone phones with iOS since both platforms have been equal in terms of their updates for years.

Be that as it may, Apple mobile users have Apple Maps, which since last year already show the location of the traffic lights.

Google Maps is a fundamental transport application today, whether you are traveling on foot, by public transport or in a private vehicle, since it shows in real time and with constant updates what is the best way to get to our destination.

Although there are apps that are more complete such as GPS (Waze) or for public transport (CityMapper) , the truth is that Google has also managed to be fundamental in the transport of people, as it is in the search for information online.
