TL;DR
- A user noticed Google Maps showing a live travel time in the Home chip below the search bar.
- The chip appears when you’re not at home, but this is the first time we’ve seen it display a travel time.
- It could help you keep in mind when to start driving when you know the route but not the traffic situation.
Google Maps looks set to make it even simpler to keep track of how far you are from home. At least one user has spotted that the app now shows your estimated travel time directly in the Home chip below the search bar, potentially avoiding the need to open the route preview or start navigation.
