Google Maps has been developing an idea for a few months that is now being implemented in GPS . From now on, users will be able to know the cost of the tolls for their trip . Google’s GPS navigator has been offering information about tolls on routes for years, but nothing about their cost. This is a feature that users have been asking for for a long time and now it’s finally being rolled out.
Google Maps borrows the function of Waze, the GPS that directly competes and that has been offering this data in its Android app for quite some time. Users are no longer only interested in knowing if there are tolls on their route, but also in knowing their price .
How much are the tolls for my trip? That’s what Google tells you

Knowing if there are tolls on your route or not is quite simple with Google Maps. The GPS has been warning for years when you choose a toll route. The problem is that it does not indicate how much said toll costs . It is the user who must leave the app and find on their own how much the toll costs for their trip , something that is not particularly easy to find on the Internet.
Now Google Maps wants to solve this unknown. The big G knows that many users are willing to go through a toll route if the cost is not too high. For this reason, it is subtracting the costs of the main tolls to show them in the app .
When the user indicates a destination and the routes are shown, now it will be possible to see the time, the kilometers and also the cost of the tolls of that route . In this way it will be very easy to know if it is worth saving time and comfort. Before, you didn’t know how much it was going to cost you to take the toll option.
It will take a while to arrive in Spain
At the moment this function is being deployed in the US, Japan and Indonesia . Google has already commented that it will arrive in other countries soon, although it is unknown how long it will take. It is possible that its deployment in Spain or Latin America will take place throughout the summer.
