This can really be very useful for many of the users who mainly use Google Maps to get around on foot or by bicycle. This is a new update that adds indications in the form of a graph for show us the accumulated unevenness that we have to overcome on our route.
The new version of Google Maps, which is now available in the App Store, reaches 4.57 and with it, Google continues to improve the options available to it, such as traffic information, options to discover restaurants, bars or the like in all cities and others.
We can say that this new version improves another point the Google Maps application and that is undoubtedly a step above the rest, and when I say the rest I also mean Apple Maps, an application that despite being greatly improved today is still in most cases inferior to Google's. Logically with the Apple Maps application we have a good handful of options available, guidance, traffic and others, but it is still for the vast majority a secondary app to Google Maps.
In short and as I always say in these cases, to taste the colors and surely there will be users very accustomed to Apple Maps and many others to Google Maps so it is best to choose the one we like the most or even both for it depends on what situations. In the case of Google Maps and the new option to see the accumulated unevenness in a route by bicycle or on foot, it is undoubtedly a really very interesting improvement to take into account.
