Normally, users have the habit of selecting Turn-by-turn navigation mode to get directions using Google Maps. But do not forget that Google Maps also has a very good mode is Driving Mode that many people do not know. Driving mode not only alerts you when there are traffic jams, directions to the nearest gas station or store, but it is especially useful when you do not know the route or have not determined the destination in your head.
Google launched Driving Mode in early 2016 and implemented it on the Android platform first. To activate this mode is not difficult. In Google Maps, select Start driving from the application menu or use the 1x1 widget (below the map). Your screen will display the current location and traffic conditions in nearby areas.
If you're near the time of driving according to the previous settings, you'll see the ETA (estimated arrival time) when you get home or to work (in the case you added a map). Driving Mode will also show ETA for places you've been to or been searching for. If the estimated time matches your schedule, users can touch the destination to get Google Maps to follow the usual route.
For example, have you just finished working and want to know whether the current traffic situation is suitable for going straight home or going to the Gym first? Driving mode in Google Maps will tell you the estimated time when you arrive at the two locations, from which you will make the choice that suits you. Note that during travel, ETA will also be updated depending on the latest traffic conditions.

The results will remain on the screen until you skip ( Dismiss ) them. When you search for a specific location directly, this result will be updated according to your movements.
In this case, if you still decide to go there and need to know the traffic situation, Driving Mode will take full advantage of it. While on the move, the driving mode continues to update the latest traffic data so you can change directions or change the route accordingly.
As can be seen, Driving Mode is a very useful feature for drivers, especially those who drive cars or motorcycles. Not only helps you find places quickly, the driving mode also updates the traffic situation quickly.
