Newest Google Map's Feature
Google Map can now help the blind reach their destinations more easily.
Google Map has become able to continually remind users that they are on the right pass, warn them that there is a busy street, and so on.
Here is a video demonstrating how it works.

This new feature will not only lessen the possibility of traffic accidents, but also allows the traffic to go smoothly too. As Google Map is very widely recognized nowadays, it is probable that more and more advanced features will appear. The company also maintains that more support for a variety of languages and countries is on the way.
Although I believe this kind of technology development to be great, it might still cause a problem if the feature fails to lead the direction and the user comes across an accident. And I suspect who is to blame in such a situation. Thus I suspect the company and lawmakers need to establish some stipulations in case of such a controversial situation.

Your first post is interesting and intriguing when I use Google map next time. I agree with your idea that it sometimes occurs some trouble when using. In fact, it didn't work when I was in Singapore. I'll give you an idea to support your next blog. Most people know about it, so maybe you thought you didn't have to add pictures. However, I think every blog needs writing and pictures which make your writing more attractive. Therefore, when you write next blog, how about searching some pictures?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice, I will consider adding more pics.
DeleteThanks for this post Naoyuki. You present the issue clearly and I also like that you follow up with your own opinion. On the layout side of things, I agree with Mako that you should include something visual in your post. I know that you put a video link in, but it would be much better if you actually embed your video so that the reader doesn't have to follow a link away from your page. You actually want the reader to stay here for a while. If you don't know how to do that, go to my blogger tips page here: https://pukblogtips.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice and the link, I will try to insert videos if appropriate.
DeleteI use this app when I go to the new place and it helps me a lot every time. As you said, this app will be developing more and more in the future. By the way, I'll give you the tip to make your blog more creative. How about putting more images about this app? It's because I think there aren't enough pictures to explain what this is. So you should put the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yeah I am starting to think that adding more pictures is better.
DeleteNaoyuki, I want you to consider the background of your blog. If you had to put an adjective to it what would that be? Your background color will always influence your reader as part of their reading experience. How do you want them to experience what you are saying? If you feel that the background color you are using doesn't help the reader's experience, why don't you try experimenting with different colors or images. There is a lot open to you.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely consider changing the background color. Thank you for the advice.
