Google Maps on Samsung phones has improved significantly. You ought to try it out and update
The use of Google Maps on Samsung phones has taken an amazing leap forward. The two companies have worked to ensure that the new flagship feature in One UI 7 works seamlessly with GPS, making a difference compared to all other Android phones on the market and greatly improving the browsing experience. We are talking, of course, about the great integration between Google Maps and the Now Bar.
For those who don't know, Samsung announced a few days ago the Now Bar, one of the standout features of One UI 7, its new customization layer. In short, it's a kind of floating pop-up window that can vary in size and interact with certain apps so that you always have information at hand.
It's resized and even displayed on the lock screen with useful information about system apps and other protocols. That's where Google Maps and the new utility come in, courtesy of Samsung. Now the Now Bar can interact with Google's GPS app, a feature already available in One UI 7.
Google and Samsung have taken care of every detail, making the GPS navigation system now fully integrated into the new One UI 7 bar. The main feature is the ability to follow the route and directions at all times from any part of the interface, although the most amazing thing is that you can use the GPS navigation system at any time. The thing is to be able to do it from the lock screen.
The bar now changes size depending on what you're doing with your phone, so you can always have information from Google Maps or other compatible apps in your field of view. In fact, it's also possible to interact with the window to exit navigation or perform specific actions.
