Google Maps to roll out ‘much requested’ flyover callout, narrow roads features in India

Days after slashing the price of Google Maps application programming interfaces for developers by 70%, the American technology company is set to launch the ‘flyover callout’ feature in Google Maps for Android users in 40 Indian cities later this week, said a company executive, adding that it is the “most requested feature” by Android users.

The feature will be available for iOS users on a later date.
Google will also launch a ‘narrow roads’ feature to help four-wheeler drivers avoid narrow roads, said Lalitha Ramani, general manager, Google Maps, India.
