Google Maps `Two-Wheeler` Mode Launches In India, More Countries to Follow
(MacRumors iPhone)
 


Google debuted a new `two-wheeler` mode for Google Maps on Tuesday as part of its Google India media event in New Delhi. The biker-based feature joins the existing driving, walking, and public transit modes for Google Maps users in India looking for the fastest possible directions to their intended destination.

The two-wheeler mode also shows major landmarks along the planned route to help riders who rely on them for navigation, as is often the case in India. #LookBeforeYouLeave to get where you need to, faster with directions and voice navigation mode for two-wheeler riders in @googlemaps#GoogleForIndia pic.twitter.com/TkktD4T9s0— Google India (@GoogleIndia) December 5, 2017 Like offline maps when they first launched, the two-wheeler mode for Google Maps is only available in India to begin with, but Google says the feature will roll out to more countries in the coming months. It`s unclear at present where `two-wheeler` mode will sit in relation to Google Maps` existing cycling directions, but rider safety, speed, and designated routes are sure to differ.
