**Google Maps Unveils Weather-Related Road Reports for Enhanced Navigation**
Google Maps is launching new features aimed at assisting drivers in better navigating weather-related road dangers.
This week, *Android Police* revealed that Google Maps has rolled out additional report types—flooded streets, poor visibility, and unplowed roads. These enhancements enable users to report weather-related challenges in real-time, much like how they currently report police activity, stalled cars, and various road incidents.
### **Broader Accessibility**
Currently, the new reporting feature can be accessed on Google Maps for Android Auto and the iPhone application. Nonetheless, it is anticipated that it will be made available for Android users shortly.
### **Latest Google Maps Enhancements**
Google Maps has been proactively upgrading its features. Towards the end of last year, it incorporated community reports from Waze, a navigation application under Google’s ownership. Around that same period, it also added the functionality to search through saved locations. More recently, Google Maps introduced customization options for vehicle icons, enabling users to tailor their navigation settings.
### **A Valuable Resource for Drivers**
The launch of weather-related road reports may prove to be especially advantageous for drivers aiming to steer clear of dangerous conditions. Stay safe on the road and watch for these new reports as they become increasingly accessible.
