Today, Google maps are primary requirement if you are going for long trip without knowledge of location direction. Google map has helped many people to reach their destination. Even many car rental apps are running by using Google maps API and making journey easy for rider and driver both. Car driver can’t fool passenger as everything is calculated by Google maps system.
More than 90% of users drive their vehicles themselves, and they have used Google Maps at least once in their lives. Even though many map users and third party app developers are facing issues Google maps. Google developer team is continuing effort to make their maps more powerful as many other map service providers enhancing their features too. Let discuss the potential upcoming updates Google map in the year 2025.
Google map 2025 Update
1. Free Access of Google maps for Developers
The March month of 2025 will become incredible for developers, as Google will offer 1 month trial for developers for Maps, Routes, Places, and Environment products. This step will encourage developers to make user-friendly useful applications and tools without initial plan charges.
2. Enhance Experience with AI
Google Maps will be equipped with artificial intelligence to increase user experience. This will automatically suggest smarter route and direction planning by analyzing real-time data of traffic, environment, road conditions, and user preferences. AI will also suggest personalized recommendations for attractions, restaurants and hidden gems based on user behaviour, travel time, environment etc.
3. Parking Assistance
AI will be used to guess availability of parking slots and direct Google map users to the next open slot, reducing the bother of searching parking.
4. Indoor Navigation and Mapping
Intelligently developed AI techniques such as 3D modelling and computer vision will allow highly correct indoor maps, making it easier to explore complex structures such as malls, airports, hotels, school, general public offices and hospitals.
5. Advanced Developer Tools
Google Maps Platform will launch new tools and APIs to help developers build new solutions. This includes characteristics like Places Nearby and useful Street View, which will be accessible without any upfront charges for developers.
6. Focus on Sustainability
Google Maps will focus on eco-friendly navigation options, assisting users in selecting routes that lower fuel consumption and lessen their carbon footprint.
These changes are set to make Google Maps even more advance and user-friendly, benefiting both everyday developers and users. The above all changes are very useful and important for everyone but I am thinking few more changes are required to increase Google maps ranking.
Synchronization of Major Maps
Any maps aren’t perfect and they have to update their database on time which is not possible for any map service provider. For example you can check the date of any location and you find the date of satellite image and view.
Recently I heard many accident and location mislead because of older from Maxar technologies map data. There may be quick solutions for that is the major map service provider should divide regions for map capturing and synchronize their database. This will increase the accuracy and trustworthy of maps. 3 People dead because of Google Maps
Reviews of Businesses
Generally we open any business if we have been pissed by business employee or owner. In maximum cases negative reviews are fakes. The users are looking for some money or cashback in return on removing negative feedback. Maximum small business owners like to give their best so no point of negative feedback. Negative feedback must be posted with solid video evidence only.
Location updates
If map users want to update some business from live location then it should be approved with evidence as location images. Now Google maps never approve some specific category from local guide users such as locksmith, mover, internet service, plumber, pest control and more.
