Google Maps is now starting to show reports of traffic accidents and the presence of police on the road by taking the information from Waze during navigation. The Google Maps navigation system now allows users to confirm road conditions through the app.
In July, Google announced that the two apps would share more data, including information from Waze about road closures, construction, speed cameras and police presence, which would be integrated into Google Maps. And now it's a fact
The message “Police spotted ahead“ now appears on the Google Maps navigation screen. based on reports from drivers using Waze. As with other Google Maps event reports, users can update the report to indicate whether the information is current.
When Google announced the option, project manager Can Komertoglu said that despite the merger of the teams working on Maps and Waze, the apps will continue to function separately.
That's because over 500,000 members of the Waze community prefer certain features of the app, and Google Maps users have other preferences.
