The new feature is now available to customers in India, the United States, Japan, and Indonesia. Users will be able to get an estimate of toll rates on a certain route thanks to a new Google Maps feature. According to the firm, almost 2,000 toll roads in the United States, India, Japan, and Indonesia are equipped with the feature. The feature is now available in both iOS and Android apps, with support for other nations coming “soon.” In April, Google stated that toll costs would be available on Maps in India, the United States, Japan, and Indonesia, allowing users to choose between toll roads and conventional roads.

The listed toll pricing is based on “reliable information from local tolling authorities,” according to Google.” “Based on factors such as the cost of using a toll pass or other payment methods, the day of the week, and how much the toll is expected to cost at the specific time the user will be crossing it, Google Maps will estimate the total toll price to your destination.” “According to the Mountain View, California-based behemoth.
If a toll-free route is available, Google Maps will show it alongside options with tolls for individuals interested in exploring alternate routes. “A simple press on the three dots in the upper right corner of Google Maps directions will enable users select route alternatives and ‘avoid tolls’ if they prefer to totally avoid toll routes,” the company stated.
