Navigation promises to get better with the coming Google Maps building entrance feature. Right now, this feature is currently in beta testing, and it simply gives users a view of the entrance of various buildings on their map app. This new feature will help navigators using the Google Maps app to find the entrance to buildings directly from the map.
To access these maps, beta testers will have to zoom into the building on the map till they can find the entrance. To identify the building’s entrance, users need to look out for a round white circle that has an entry symbol on it. This points out the exact entry to the building that the user has zoomed in on, hence making their navigation easier.
Some users also note that entrances can also be depicted by a green arrow with a white circle. With this new feature, Google Maps users who are in unfamiliar territory will be able to access buildings without getting confused. Some of these users might include those working with delivery service providers, visitors, and so much more.
This new feature is a very handy one when it comes to navigating an environment that is new to a Google Map user. At this moment, this feature is under testing and might see some improvements to its operation. These improvements will help this feature to be more useful once it is available for stable release.
Once available, some regions might get the Google Maps building entrance feature, while others might not. Additionally, not all buildings might have their entrance displayed on the map for viewing. Regardless of these possibilities, this Google Maps building entrance feature will be a very useful one for navigation.
