The second feature that Google introduced is the option for users to save maps to their SD cards while in offline mode. The feature would allow users to save up space on their smartphones and save offline maps to the SD card.

Google also introduced some expanded commuting abilities, users would be able to compare ride services like Uber, together with additional transportation services like GO-JEK and Grab rides.

In addition, Gett, Hailo and MyTaxi also got expanded availability inside the Google Maps app. The improvements are only visible to users from outside the US, mainly in European and Asian markets.
