This has actually happened as Google has been continuously improving Google Maps by adding many Waze-like features over the years. Some of the typical features include allowing users to quickly report accidents, traffic conditions, police activities, construction works, and many other road hazards.
More and more Waze features are being integrated into Google Maps by Google
Google Maps has recently introduced a new feature that allows users to change the vehicle icon on the map. This feature will replace the blue arrow with a more diverse vehicle icon.
How to use Google Maps' new feature
To make this change, iOS or Android users simply need to swipe up on the menu from the handle at the bottom of the screen that shows the time and distance remaining on the trip. After swiping up, a menu with multiple options will appear.
In the menu, users can choose from 8 different car icons, including traditional arrows, sports cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, etc. In addition, there are 8 color options for the car icons that also appear, including glacier white, black, ash gray, poppy red, sky blue, sunshine yellow, navy blue, and sunset purple.
The selection interface where the new user is added
To change the car icon, users can also tap on the default car icon that appears after setting a destination and starting navigation. However, to use this feature, users need to make sure they have the latest version of Google Maps installed on their iOS or Android device.
Every aspect of the new car icon, from the user interface to the color options, is heavily influenced by Waze. That said, the two apps still aim to serve different purposes: Google Maps focuses on providing quick and safe routes, while Waze focuses on improving the driving experience through community-sourced information.
