The two apps are both getting improvements to navigation
|
Google Maps and Waze just got even better. Improvements for Google Maps include new guidance for entering buildings like a large apartment complex. As you get near, Google Maps will highlight the building in red and use a green indicator to point to the main entrance so that you don’t miss it. Google Maps will also now show nearby parking spots to save you time. Meanwhile, users of Google-owned Waze can now receive alerts about new types of traffic cameras, like those that check if you’re wearing a seatbelt or if you’re texting and driving. "These alerts serve as a helpful reminder about an area’s traffic rules, so you can make any necessary adjustments," Google said. Read on to find out more about all of the new features ... |

Psychological thriller Trap targets $20 million on its opening weekend |
But Deadpool & Wolverine, now approaching its second weekend, is certain to perform strongly again |
From writer/director M. Night Shyamalan (Sixth Sense and Signs) comes Trap, which follows a father (Josh Hartnett) and his teen daughter (Ariel Donaghue) at a pop concert who suddenly realize they've entered the center of a dark and sinister event. Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine, which owned the box office on its opening weekend, is certain to have a strong second weekend, too.
