Then again, Big G didn’t make a lot of noise when moving the feature out of testing and into the wild in India in the first place, as Google Maps just so happened to be in the midst of a wider update process back in June as well. In any case, if you notice the option being added to the wildly popular mapping and navigation app on your Android handset, you should definitely take it for a test drive the next time you hop into a cab.

Basically, you can track your trip to make sure your taxi driver doesn’t go off route for some shady reason, and in case that happens, your phone will buzz with a prominent notification to warn you of a possible danger to your wellbeing or just the risk of getting fleeced. This way, you can quickly tell if you’re about to be overcharged (or worse) without having to keep an eye on your route from the beginning to the end of a suspicious trip. And don’t worry, false alarms shouldn’t be a problem, as Google Maps will only alert you if your driver deviates from the best available route by more than 500 meters (546 yards).
