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.

Briefs: Google bans ‘ads on lock-screen’ & India asks troops to ‘uninstall Chinese apps’

Briefs: Google bans ‘ads on lock-screen’ & India asks troops to ‘uninstall Chinese apps’
Posted: 01 Dec 2017 12:50 AM PST

Google Play logoGoogle bans non-lockscreen apps from placing ads on the lockscreen

The advertisements on the lock-screen have been a huge pain point for the Android device users around the world. After years of suffering, there is finally some respite for the consumers. It seems Google has decided to take a stand against the lock-screen ads. Afterall, nobody wants to wake their Android device to see annoying advertisements cluttering their lock-screen.
The company recently updated the Google Play Monetization and Ads policy to ban all lock-screen advertisements unless the sole purpose of the app is to do with the lock-screen.
“Unless the exclusive purpose of the app is that of a lockscreen, apps may not introduce ads or features that monetize the locked display of a device,” wrote Google in the updated Ads policy. (via)

India asks troops to uninstall these 42 Android apps

Over the last couple of days, several reports have appeared in the media claiming the Indian Ministry of Defence or Intelligence Bureau or the Home Ministry has issued an advisory to the armed forces personnel asking them to remove 42 apps from their devices. The leaked advisory claims that these apps are either developed by Chinese developers or have links to China and can be detrimental to the data security of the troops.
The apps included in the advisory are Weibo, WeChat, ShareIt, Truecaller, UC News, UC Browser, Beauty Plus, NewsDog, Viva Video, Parallel Space, Apus Browser, Perfect Corp, CM Browser, 360 Security, DU Browser, ES File Explorer, Mi Video Call, QQ Launcher, Mail Master Wesync, QQ Security Center, Selfie City, QQ Newsfeed, QQ Player, QQ Mail, QQ International, Photo Wonder, Wonder Camera, Baidu Map, Baidu Translate, Clean Master, DU Privacy, DU Cleaner, DU Battery Saver, CacheCleaner, Mi Store, Vault Hide, YouCam Makeup, DU Recorder, Mi Community and Virus Cleaner – Hi Security Lab.
Many of these apps are very popular with millions of downloads and are most likely present on the devices of many army personnel. Also, there are few apps from Xiaomi, which are pre-installed on the Xiaomi phones.
It is important to note here that at the time of writing this story, it wasn’t clear which agency or the ministry is the source behind the advisory and whether all the armed forces personnel are banned from using these apps or it is meant for para-military or select troops stationed on the Chinese border. Every news website is citing a totally different agency.  (Leaked advisory via The Print)

Gboard adds the Handwriting option as well as larger emoji in Latest Update

Gboard adds the Handwriting option as well as larger emoji in Latest Update
Posted: 29 Nov 2017 12:16 AM PST


Google has now been quite active in updating it’s app. Well, Gboard has been one such app. Google has been regularly updating the app. Last time the update which was received was the one with 40 new languages. And this time also the new update adds a new feature.

The new update with v6.8 now brings features like handwriting keyboard as well as larger emoji. This new update has been a long awaited one.
So if you are the one who actually loves to scribble more or want to try this new writing feature then Gboard is the best option. Earlier there was a different app for Google handwriting but now it has been integrated in this one.
For this first you need to go the Gboard’s settings and then click on the language settings. The select the option ‘Add a keyboard’. Once this is done you need to select the option you plan for writing. And it’s done. After this you can even change the normal keyboard to the handwriting one the same way you change languages.
The next enhancement to the app is increased the size of the emoji’s. So now you could see them clearly.
What I feel is Google is going to add many new interesting features. But for now we should enjoy the ones added now.
