Google Maps finally picks up spoken traffic alerts in latest update

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Google Maps (http://www.imore.com/ios/google-maps) has finally picked up spoken traffic alerts, bringing it further up to par with its Android cousin. With the new feature, Google Maps will now give you a verbal summary of traffic conditions before you head out the door, along with alerts meant to steer you clear from pesky congestion and holdups. Of course, there's a little more to this update as well, so here's the breakdown:</p>

<ul><li>Easily add new and missing businesses from the sidebar</li> <li>Spoken traffic alerts in Navigation tell you about congestion and incidents on your route and traffic descriptions give you a summary of traffic before you drive</li> <li>Bug fixes</li> </ul>

<p>So, if you've opted to use Google Maps over the native Apple Maps, you'll now be able to be a little more prepared for your trip while keeping your eyes on the road. To check out the latest update, be sure to hit up the App Store link below.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/google-maps/id585027354?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul></div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
