It will be possible in Google Maps to see how strongly the corona virus is represented in an environment. A navigation extension that you hoped would never become reality.
Now that the corona virus is flaring up again in many places in the world, wants Google Maps come to the rescue. That is, it aims to provide its users with insight into the presence of the virus by region. According to the tech giant, this should help in ‘well-informed determination of where to go or not to go’. Based on local government figures, a color is attached per region to the average number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants over the previous seven days.
Users can activate the covid map layer to then see, based on orange and red tones (also while driving), to what extent there is corona in an area. It is advisable to check in advance, if you think it is necessary, but you can also decide, for example, while driving, to take a break or to refuel a little further away. If it does not help, it does not harm. The update for Maps is reported to be rolled out in a few days and will be available for both Android and iOS.
