More than one has experienced a situation in which a taxi decides to turn around to reach a destination and thus increase the bill for the journey. But with this new function, users can be even more sure that this does not happen to them. With this new off-road Google Maps alert, users will receive a new alert on their mobile phone each time the taxi deviates from the expected course at 500 meters.

In addition to ensuring the safety of the passenger, this function will help users not to be deceived by a taxi driver while traveling in an unknown city. A function that can also be useful when someone is driving their own car.

At the moment this new function is only available in India, and no reports have been found about its possible arrival in other countries. However, it is not ruled out that it ends up crossing the border of the Asian country. At the moment we have to wait to see the new movements of Google Maps with respect to this new and interesting function.
