Google Maps for Android now shows you the weather
Like the iOS app, Google Maps for Android now overlays the weather and AQI when you're browsing the map layer...
This might be one of the first times I've seen one of these articles, checked the app, and found the feature enabled.
@sbv still not available in my area :/
I feel your pain. I'm still waiting for colours in Messages.
The whole immersive view is pretty cool. I'll probably never use it though.
I guess it's neat, but I don't see the point. 99% of my maps usage is local navigation, mostly in the car. I already know the weather.
The remaining 1% is using the app like an atlas, I guess it's nice to know that it's snowing today in Estonia, but that's not why I'm looking at the place in Google maps.
Is this a feature people will find useful?
This implementation doesn't seem particularly useful. However, I have long wanted maps to generate a weather forecast along route for long winter road trips. It can be pretty tedious to look up weather forecasts along a long drive and try to figure out if you'll encounter snow.

Cool, can we get the weather back in Android Auto?
