Google Maps adds a feature specifically for cyclists.

According to Traffictechnology Today, Google Maps will use insights from TFL to update its cycling navigation algorithm on the platform, helping users prioritize safer and more suitable cycling routes.

The app update also takes into account traffic conditions and infrastructure to suggest the best options for users.

TFL stated that these changes to Google Maps could improve the experience and safety for 60 million bike trips across London and elsewhere in the world .

Currently, people can use the new features immediately.

According to previous research by TFL, one of the main problems affecting cyclists is the lack of dedicated cycling planning and navigation tools.

Since then, Google has worked with TFL's research team and industry experts to address and improve Google Maps' routing system to best suit the cycling community.

Currently, users can view detailed route information, knowing the route they will be taking. In addition, the integration of a realistic view allows road users to preview routes, including lanes and intersections.

Going forward, after collecting data and user feedback, Google Maps will continue to improve and develop new features, contributing to expanding the road network and creating a friendly and safe environment for the cycling community.
