Landmarks to Show Directions

Users can now navigate around locations in Google Maps using landmarks like petrol stations, banks, schools, railway stations, bus stops, local businesses, and traffic circles and signals. India is the first country to get this feature from Google. The new algorithm determines which of the landmarks are most useful for navigation, based on importance, and closeness to the turns that the user is making and other available signals.
