• Accessible offline: – If you don’t have internet no worries Plus codes work whether you are online or offline.
• Easy to use: – Places that are close to each other have similar plus codes. This makes it easy to work out if you are near to, or far away from your destination.
• Independent of borders: – Plus codes work even in those places too that haven’t been mapped.
• Easy to Identify: – The “PLUS (+)” symbol in plus codes helps identify them for people and computers, ensuring Google Search and Google Maps recognize them.

Another special feature that Google has added in the Maps is voice navigation in six Indian languages. Google says that it has seen great interest in voice navigation in Hindi, often used by Ola and Uber drivers in India, after that feature was added in Google Maps. So from now anyone can enjoy navigation with six more Indian local languages: These are Bengali, Kannada, Tamil, Gujarati, Telugu and Malayalam. And also in near future, it plans to add even more languages to the Google Maps.
