Google Maps will expand in the coming months its tools with artificial intelligence to warn of Low Emission Zones, show temperature and weather conditions with a new meteorological layer and a new navigation interface that will unify routes and modes of transport, and it

will expand the Assistant's driving mode to Spain

.

Google plans to introduce more than a hundred improvements driven by artificial intelligence to its map service that will arrive throughout this year, so that users have access to more accurate and up-to-date information, as reported Tuesday in a statement.

These novelties include the extension of Live View functions to the interior of shopping centers, transport interchanges or airports, in such a way that it will be able to indicate the way to elevators, escalators, lockers or the door using AR arrows. boarding, among other elements.

It will also indicate on which floor a certain store is located and

how to get there

.

Indoor Live View is already available for Android and iOS in some cities in the United States, and in the coming months it will be implemented in several airports,

shopping centers

and transport interchanges in Tokyo (Japan) and Zurich (Switzerland).

Google Maps will also introduce a new meteorological layer, which will allow to know the current and forecast temperature and weather conditions for a certain area.

And a

new layer of air quality

that will indicate if it is healthy or not, a tool that can be useful for people who have allergies or in almost areas prone to pollution or fires.

These layers use data from services like The Weather Company, AirNow.gov, and Central, and will begin rolling out to Android and iOS in the coming months.

The

weather layer will be available globally

and the air quality layer will launch first in Australia, India and the United States.

Google is also building a new routing model based on lower fuel consumption, which takes into account factors such as slopes and road traffic congestion, which will be launched first in the United States, on

Android and iOS

, at the end of this year and little by little it will reach the whole world.

With it, Google Maps will be able to suggest by default the route with the lowest carbon footprint, as long as the estimated time of arrival is similar to that of the fastest route.

In the event that this route considerably increases the estimated time of arrival, the user

will be able to compare the relative impact on emissions of both routes

and choose the one they want.

Google Maps for drivers

Google Maps will also introduce new alert systems that will warn users when they approach a

Low Emission Zone, in which the circulation of polluting vehicles is prohibited

.

They will be available in June in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain and the United Kingdom for Android and iOS.

These tools for sustainable mobility will be complemented by a new navigation interface, which will show a complete view of all the routes and modes of transport available for the chosen destination, and

the user will be able to compare how long it will take to get there by car, public transport or bike, without having to change multiple tabs

.

Using advanced machine learning models, the map service will automatically prioritize

user-preferred modes

as well as the most popular modes in your city.

This feature will be rolled out worldwide in the coming months, on Android and iOS.

Finally, the Assistant's driving mode will be expanded to 13 new countries,

including Spain

, in the coming months.

This mode allows drivers to use their voice to send and receive calls and text messages, or check new messages from multiple messaging applications from one place or read text messages without leaving the navigation screen.
