Apps And Software E Scooter Google-Maps lime navigation

Lime e-scooters are everywhere, even Google Maps

sudshr47 December 13, 2018

Lime made it to Australia last month and Mexico City the month before. On Thursday, the motorized scooters dropped into Google Maps, inching us ever closer to e-scooter world domination.

On the Google Maps mobile app, a scooter option showing nearby Lime scooters will come up when mapping out directions on transit. The app will show if a scooter is available, how many others are nearby, how long it’ll take to walk to the scooter, and an estimate of how much your ride will cost.

In the U.S., Lime rides cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute.

Clicking on the Lime option doesn’t mean you can rent a scooter straight through the navigation app. Instead, that opens up the standalone Lime app — and if you don’t have it, you’ll need to download it and sign up to use the e-scooters. Read more…

Control Music Google Google-Maps navigation Tech

Google Maps now lets you control music while navigating

sudshr47 October 1, 2018

Switching between songs and albums can be a chore while you’re in a car and following Google Maps’ instructions on where to take a turn. Not only that — fiddling between the navigation app and the music app while driving is not the smartest idea and can be very dangerous.

But an update to Google Maps software fixes this by letting you control Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play tunes from within the Maps app while in navigation mode.

The feature, while minor, will likely be welcomed by many users; it’s just one of those things that makes your life simpler, though I’d like to see integration with other music apps as well. Read more…

Head-up display devices are on sale, can keep you safer on the road

sudshr47 July 16, 2018

The integration of smartphones, GPS, and advanced infotainment consoles in our cars have undoubtedly made driving easier and more enjoyable. But they’ve also added distractions to an experience that really demands our undivided attention. After all, taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds makes you 24x more likely to get in an accident, according to Journal of Transportation Safety and Security.

GPS smartphone apps like Waze or Google Maps help drivers find the quickest routes to their destinations, while deftly dodging traffic jams and highlighting areas of interest along the way. But most phone mounts occupy a different focal plane than the road ahead, causing the driver’s vision to refocus every time they glance down at it. These split-second breaks in concentration can diminish reaction time and situational awareness, increasing danger during hazardous road conditions. Read more…
