Google Maps Rolls Out Glanceable Directions Feature

The long-awaited feature enhances navigation by displaying directions on the lock screen, now available on iOS and Android devices.

Google Maps introduces Glanceable Directions, allowing users to see real-time ETA and turn-by-turn directions on the lock screen.
The feature, announced a year ago, is now rolling out to iOS and Android devices globally.
Glanceable Directions aims to provide safer and more convenient navigation by reducing phone interaction.
The feature is turned off by default but can be enabled in the app's settings.
Google continues to enhance Maps with AI, including a generative AI feature for discovering local activities and Immersive View for exploring 3D cities.
