Google Maps continues to add functions that are completing even more the layer of information of transport and services that are part of our daily landscape. And we cannot say that the Mountain Viewers are not rushing, because they have had a very busy first months of the year thanks to news that is being especially useful to us. And we are not talking only about the dark mode that, finally, now reaches all users in a generalized way, but about those much more detailed maps in the cities, with signs of the zebra crossings, public parks and even the roads that are inside of them, but because of an addition that has arrived in recent days around the trains and the rail network in the main territories. The level crossings arrive Thus, it has been through Reddit that we have learned that Google Maps has begun to show the level crossings of a train track when it crosses a street or road, which will be especially important in those areas where certain routes still have activity that have not corrected their route to avoid contact with cars, trucks, buses, etc. It must be remembered that these level crossings have traditionally been a black point of accidents, either because they are not well marked, or because they are difficult to cross or, also, because of the imprudence of those who think that they have time to reach the other side when not. And it is that these new indications, which are shaped like a yellow circle with a track inside, will serve as a guide to know if there is a train on the way to be aware of. As you can see from the screenshot that you have just above, to see those level crossings you just have to create a route with the car so that the application tells us if there are any of these level crossings along the way, so that we have them in mind when we get to them. Of course, at the moment this update seems that it has only reached some corners of the US, so we will surely have to wait a bit before seeing it in Europe and also Spain. This way of extending the functions is not new and those of Mountain View always tend to initiate the process of updating Google Maps in a timely manner in some cities and areas of the US and, later, make the leap to their main markets. neighbors and across the Atlantic.
