Google Maps and Waze Roll Out Enhanced Navigation and Safety Features

New updates include improved incident reporting, destination guidance, and traffic event notifications.

Google Maps will now highlight building entrances and nearby parking as you approach your destination.
Both apps feature larger icons and easier methods for reporting incidents like road closures and police presence.
Waze adds new camera alerts for speed, seatbelt, and phone usage violations, plus notifications for local events causing traffic.
Users can now receive navigation guidance from Waze even when their phone is locked.
The updates are rolling out globally on Android and iOS, with some features coming to iOS later this fall.
