Three new Google Maps<\/a> updates were announced to help lower transportation carbon emissions and provide people with greener choices as vehicles on the road account for over 75% of transportation CO2 emissions and are one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gasses worldwide.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, it was announced that Google Maps would be updated with an entirely new routing model that not only gets you to your destination as quickly as possible, but also optimizes for lower fuel consumption \u2014 which saves you money on gas.<\/p>\n

Thanks to AI and insights from the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), eco-friendly routing is rolling out now in the U.S. on Android and iOS, with plans to expand to Europe and beyond in 2022.<\/p>\n

Google Maps has estimated that eco-friendly routing has the potential to prevent over one million tons of carbon emissions per year \u2014 that\u2019s the equivalent of removing over 200,000 cars from the road.<\/p>\n

Now, in addition to showing the fastest route, Google Maps will also display the one that’s the most fuel-efficient, if it doesn\u2019t happen to also be the fastest. With just a few taps, you can see the relative fuel savings and ETA difference between the two routes and choose the one that works best for you.<\/p>\n

\u00a0According to Jeff Gonder, Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences at NREL, this is a positive change for everyone. \u201cNot only does Google Maps’ eco-friendly routing bring NREL\u2019s fuel-efficient technology from the lab to the road, but it has huge potential to significantly lower emissions and save drivers money on gas \u2014 something that\u2019s good for both people and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google Maps to launch Lite navigation for cyclists<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Over the past year, the use of biking directions on Maps have increased by up to 98% in cities around the world \u2014 making it clear that people are opting for two-wheeled transportation. Google Maps has heard from a lot of bikers that they don\u2019t want to enter turn-by-turn navigation when they\u2019re cycling since their phone is usually tucked away for most of their ride. To make it easier to get around via bike, we\u2019re introducing a feature called lite navigation.<\/p>\n

With lite navigation, cyclists can quickly see important details about their route without needing to keep their screen on or enter turn-by-turn navigation. At a glance, you can track your trip progress, see your ETA update in real-time, and even know the elevation of your route so you can keep your focus where it needs to be \u2014 on the road. Lite navigation starts rolling out wherever cycling navigation is live on Android and iOS in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Google Maps expands bike and scooter share information to over 300 cities<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When it comes to eco-friendly alternatives to driving, Google Maps wants to keep your options open. That\u2019s why it has expanded bike and scooter share information to over 300 cities around the world on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n

From Google Maps, you can find nearby stations and even pinpoint how many vehicles are available at that moment in places like Berlin, New York, S\u00e3o Paulo and Taipei. And when you\u2019re done with your ride, you can make sure there\u2019s a place to park before heading over to the station. This expansion is made possible thanks to micro-mobility partners like Donkey Republic, Tier and Voi based in Europe, along with Bird and Spin, which are headquartered in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Google Maps wants these updates to give you more choices. Showing you when sustainable routes and travel options are available on Google Maps will help you choose the option that works best for your lifestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
