, Google Maps product manager Ruben Lozano-Aguilera explains what’s coming. “Soon, you’ll see the estimated toll price to your destination before you start navigating thanks to trusted information from local tolling authorities. We look at factors like the cost of using a toll pass or other payment methods, what the day of the week it is, along with how much the toll is expected to cost at the specific time you’ll be crossing it.
Not a fan of toll roads, he continues? No problem. “When a toll-free route is available, we’ll still show you that route as an option. Like always, you can choose to avoid seeing routes with toll roads completely. Simply tap on the three dots at the top right corner of your directions in Google Maps to see your route options and select ‘Avoid tolls.’”: Google Maps users will start seeing toll prices on Android and iOS this month for nearly 2,000 toll roads in the US, India, Japan and Indonesia.
And it doesn’t stop there. In some cities, Google Maps users will start seeing even more granular detail, like the shape and width of roads. Plus medians and islands in the roadway, to give you a better sense of where you are and what’s ahead of you. These changes will start rolling out to “select countries” in the coming weeks on Android, iOS, Android Auto and CarPlay.

Users are able to see arrival times, the next departure for your transit trip, as well as a suggested route if you’re driving.Apple Watch users, this update is for you.
