Awesome! So how exactly do we get this? Will it just show up in an upcoming Maps update?

@andrew2 you do not want it. Be happy with what you don't have.

Cool, I imagine it will be a massive drain on data especially when travelling but looking forward to trying it

@aaronoleary I would assume a battery drain but I'm not sure how this would require much if any more data than a standard set of directions.

How do I use this new feature on an iPhone? I don't see any new buttons or options that might turn this feature on.

It is very difficult for me to use the application on Android, because the application forces me to do a lot of unnecessary actions and swipes, especially in the search scenario. Do you have any plans to make the application more user friendly?
