New updates Maps and Waze from Google

Hit the Road with Confidence: Google Maps & Waze Get Major Updates for Android Auto & Apple CarPlay

Simon Shield Cars is about helping you safely and efficiently navigate the roads. That's why we're excited to share  game-changing updates to Google Maps and Waze on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay!

Safer Together: Easier Incident Reporting

Staying informed about what's happening on the road is crucial. Now, both Google Maps and Waze on Android Auto and CarPlay make reporting incidents like accidents, hazards, or slowdowns easier than ever. With a simple tap, you can contribute valuable information to help fellow drivers avoid delays and stay safe. And it's not just you – other drivers can confirm the incident with a tap, further boosting the accuracy of real-time traffic updates.

Finding Your Spot: Easier Parking at Your Destination

Planning a trip to a new location? No more circling the block looking for parking! Both Google Maps and Waze now show nearby parking options when you navigate to your destination. This eliminates the stress of finding a spot, especially when visiting unfamiliar areas.

Waze Gets Even Smarter: Community-Sourced Camera Alerts & Event Information

Waze takes driver awareness to the next level with its new features on Android Auto and CarPlay. Community members can now report the location of speed cameras, seatbelt enforcement zones, and mobile phone use detection areas. This empowers Waze to build a comprehensive network of alerts, keeping you informed and helping you avoid potential fines.

But wait, there's more! Waze also introduces a new "events" feature. This lets you see upcoming traffic congestion on your route, including details like the time it started and the cause (e.g., road closure, parade). With this knowledge, you can make informed decisions and choose alternative routes to avoid delays.

Get the Most Out of Your Drive

At Simon Shield Cars, we believe in a smooth and stress-free driving experience. These exciting updates from Google Maps and Waze on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay help make informed decisions on the road.

So, the next time you hit the road, update your apps and experience the difference these new features can make!
