TechKnow With Tantra: Google Maps (New)

Google Maps has a new safety feature, introduced exclusively for Indian users. When setting navigation to your destination, before tapping on Start, there is an option at the bottom – Stay Safer. If you click on it you get 2 other options – You can share your live trip with family / friends OR you can get an alert if your taxi or ride goes off route, beyond 500 m. You could override the alert or quickly call someone for help. This is useful for those who are new to a place. Play safe – alert your family and friends of the ride you take!
