Google Maps has recently rolled out an update tailored for users in Europe. This update includes an exciting AI feature that enhances the navigation experience for users. When entering a destination, Google Maps now not only provides multiple route options for driving, walking, or taking public transportation but also calculates the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for each mode of transport. If utilizing public transportation or walking will result in a faster arrival time than driving, Google Maps will display those directions instead.

For instance, imagine setting up Google Maps for driving directions, and the app suggests that taking public transportation will lead to a quicker arrival. In such cases, Google Maps will present the alternative routes based on the most efficient mode of transport. This not only ensures faster journeys but also promotes eco-friendly travel habits by reducing pollution and conserving resources. This latest feature is currently available in 60 European cities, including popular destinations like Stockholm, Warsaw, and Copenhagen.
