Another one of the new features Google plans to roll out for Android is essential for those who drive in the dark. Google is bringing dark mode to Google Maps, which it has started testing in late 2020. But now, the company plans a broader release of the feature "soon."

Electric vehicles that come with Google Maps built-in will allow you to plan your trips better as Google improves the information it provides.
The company released new routing algorithms that use graph theory to supply you with routes and charging stop recommendations. When you enter a destination that needs two or more recharge stops, Maps can search and filter through the thousands of public stations to find you an efficient route. It will also show you how long each charge will take and your total trip time.
According to Google, it'll only take the app less than 10 seconds to calculate everything.

Google Maps has started rolling out a new COVID-19 data overlay for Android and iOS. The new layer shows "critical information about COVID-19 cases in an area" so that you can make "more informed decisions about where to go and what to do."
To access the feature, tap on the layers button on the top right-hand corner of the screen and select "COVID-19 info." The app will then show a seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people for the part of the map you're looking at. A label will show if cases are trending up or down, with colour coding to help you distinguish between the density of new cases in an area.

Google is integrating YouTube Music more into its ecosystem. Now, the streaming app gains new features for Google Assistant, Android TV, and Google Maps.
Google Assistant on newer Nest speakers can now recommend music. All you need to say is, "Hey Google, play recommended music from YouTube Music." It will then offer personalized music suggestions, like favourite artists and genres, based on your listening history. The same feature won't work on Google Home devices, though.
