Zoom to your house or anywhere else, then dive in for a 360 perspective with Street View. We believe that these changes have the potential to eliminate 100 million hard-braking events in routes driven with Google Maps each year, so you can rely on Maps to get you from A to B quickly - but also more safely. Explore worldwide satellite imagery and 3D buildings and terrain for hundreds of cities. We’ll automatically recommend that route if the ETA is the same or the difference is minimal.

Then add the link to the XYZ tiles in the QGIS browser. To add Google Maps to QGIS you just need a link to the tile map service layers you want to use. You can easily add these layers to QGIS as XYZ tiles. With this update, we’ll take the fastest routes and identify which one is likely to reduce your chances of encountering a hard-braking moment. Google Maps and Google Satellite are probably the most recognized map layers in the world. Here’s how it works: Every time you get directions in Maps, we calculate multiple route options to your destination based on several factors, like how many lanes a road has and how direct a route is. Soon, Google Maps will reduce your chances of having hard-braking moments along your drive thanks to help from machine learning and navigation information. According to research from experts at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, these hard-braking moments - incidents along a route that cause a driver to sharply decelerate - can be a leading indicator of car crash likelihood.

As you approach a busy intersection, the traffic slows suddenly and you have to slam on your brakes.
