Google has today announced new features on Google Maps via update. The company said it is rolling out toll prices on Maps in India, US, Japan and Indonesia for nearly 2000 toll roads that will help users make the choice between toll roads and regular roads.

Users will soon see the estimated toll price to the destination before they start navigating thanks to trusted information from local tolling authorities. When planning a route, Google considers a number of factors like the cost of using a toll pass or other payment methods, what the day of the week it is, along with how much the toll is expected to cost at the specific time.

Google Maps will indeed show you toll-free alternatives. You can choose to avoid seeing routes with toll roads completely. Users can tap on the three dots at the top right corner of the directions in Google Maps to see the route options and select ‘Avoid tolls.’

Alongside the new toll prices feature, the company also announced a new update for iOS users. This update will bring a new pinned trip widget showing them trips they have pinned in their Go Tab on the latest version of the Google Maps app.
