According to the post, the combination of updated maps will improve the interpretation of directions to make it more accurate by combining gyroscopes, accelerometer and magnetometer data.
Although this idea of Google using data from all sensors is not new, the company has first used API, but the update will make better magnetic intervention. According to the post, changes will not only apply to Google Maps, but will also be third -party apps that rely on Google Maps to offer navigational data.
