Google Maps can change the navigation arrow to car icons on iOS

Tired of seeing the boring old navigation arrow on Google Maps? Well, you can change this up on iOS to either “a stylish sedan, a timeless pickup truck, or a speedy SUV” car icon. Google just released this as a new iOS-exclusive feature. You can try this out by just tapping on the navigation arrow when you’re in navigation mode. The new icons should show up there when you do this. There is no explanation why this is an iOS exclusive for now but Google has done this in the past and perhaps if it’s a popular feature it might make its way to Android, too.

New Gmail adds @ mentions support

If you’re using the redesigned Gmail on the web, here’s one handy trick that hasn’t really been talked about. Android Police reports you can quickly add someone as a recipient in an email by just using the @ + name option. Just type that into the body of the email and you’ll get a list of suggested contacts to be added to the recipient list. Once you select the name, it gets highlighted and linked (as mailto:) in the body of the email and it shows up as a recipient, too. Again, this only works for the redesigned Gmail on the web for now.
