ADD MOTORBIKES TO GOOGLE MAPS

CAROLE NASH LAUNCHES PETITION

BY Daisy Cordell ON 07 March 2018

Google Maps is an excellent tool, featuring routes with live traffic updates, and ETAs for those travelling by car, train, bicycle, plane, or on foot. What it doesn't cater for are motorcycles. But this may be about to change if a new petition launched by Carole Nash is successful.

The petition argues that, because motorcycles can move around traffic, travel times are often a lot shorter for riders than drivers. And for this reason, motorcyclists would benefit from having their own estimated time of arrival on Google Maps.

Currently, motorcycles are being trialled on the Indian version of Google Maps. Hopefully, this petition will bring about the inclusion of it in the UK.
