Google Maps adds step-by-step directions in transit navigation

Google Maps step-by-step transit navigation

After a brief stint in 2011, the step-by-step transit navigation is back in Google Maps. This new navigation mode will offer the same kind of user-friendly navigation that you have come to expect from car, bike or walking directions.

According to Google, the step-by-step directions in transit navigation are rolling out now to Google Maps for Android users globally. So, the next time you are searching for transit directions, Google will show a new start button to begin navigation. This navigation will track your location using GPS and notify you when you are about to reach your transit stop. It is especially useful when you are new to a city. The usage of GPS also means that it will work best when you are using above ground transit modes.
In addition to informing you about directions, the transit navigation also keeps you on track with departure times and ETAs.
The step-by-step directions in transit navigation come just over ten days after Google had added two-wheeler directions in the Maps for the motorcycle users.
