Google Maps is getting 2 huge upgrades that could make your drive easier 

Over the tens of thousands of miles I’ve driven over the past few years, Google Maps has been my go-to navigation app. I’ve always liked its straightforward interface and the fact that I can also use it for walking and cycling, which Waze can’t do. It also helps that Google has consistently updated Google Maps with useful improvements, such as enhanced incident reporting and the ability to flag weather disruptions, including flooded or unplowed roads.
