- Google Maps now shows an overlay of the weather and air quality in the area you’re looking at.
- Tapping on the weather widget brings up a card that shows the forecast for the day.
- This feature was previously only available on the iOS version.
Google Maps on Android is borrowing a handy feature from the iOS version of the app. The latest update to the Android app will now allow you to see the weather while in Maps.
First spotted by 9to5Google, Google Maps on Android has added a small rectangular box in the left-hand corner of the screen, just under the search bar. The box in question contains the temperature, weather conditions, and the air quality index (AQI) in the area.
