With the new information provided by the platform, users will be able to compare cycling routes and learn more about their characteristics before starting the trip.
Among the data that Google Maps will offer from now on is information about traffic, places where it is unfeasible to ride a bicycle because there are stairs or places that are very steep.

Both aerial views of landmarks and location sharing notifications have already started rolling out globally to Google Maps on Android and iOS. However, information on cycling routes will be released in the coming weeks and in those parts of the world where the option of cycling routes is enabled.
