Google Maps has updated routes and emoji reactions

Google Maps will offer different routes depending on what the user prefers according to such parameters as:

The best route;

Walk less;
Available for wheelchair;
The lowest cost.

The app will also display entrances and exits from stations so that the user does not get on the wrong train or subway.

Another new feature is shared lists. Users can create lists with friends or family that allow them to share different routes using emoji reactions.

In addition, users can now respond to photos and reviews from other users using emojis from Google Emoji Kitchen.
