However, the feature is only available on iOS for the time being, and has begun rolling out around a month ago. Android users, therefore, will have to use the feature manually. More recently, it seems that users have also gained the ability of using custom car icons instead of the generic pin, which is quite neat.

Interestingly, this very same feature has been available on competing navigation apps such as Apple Maps and Waze. It is unclear why it took Google so long to have this on their to-do list, but better late than never for sure. It is also unclear why this feature is yet to be released on Android, where users still have to do it manually.
