Google Maps user can now be able to see the new “slowdown” option on the reporting page in Google Maps for Android. Yet it is not known whether this Google maps Slowdown feature is coming for the iOS applications or not.
The new reporting feature in Google Maps went live March, since then two more option added that will give all user a chance to report crash, speed traps and slowdown. This new feature can be accessed when the route navigation mode is on.
With the expansion of the slowdown one would now be able to report if there is moderate traffic, blockage or traffic jam in a specific region. The report was first spotted by 9to5Google. We tried this new feature in the Google Maps application for Android (v10.12.1) and we found that it works fine.
So as to utilize this new feature by google map first you need to update your app and then you need to go to navigation mode and tap on the arrow up button. This will open a slide out menu where you can discover the ‘Add a report’ feature. When click on it will open the three reporting option including the slowdown option. Yet it gives the idea that the slowdown button will show up depending on the language settings of the phone.
According to Android Police reports if you set the language to English (UK) will see ‘Congestion’ on the screen rather than ‘Slowdown’ when the language has been set to English (US). The slowdown choice in Google Maps application for Android is presently live for India. Yet there is no conformation on its update in iOS application.
