Stuck in a jam and wondering if there’s a faster route? Google Maps live traffic<\/strong> shows how busy roads are right now, using colour-coded lines. When Google first brought live traffic to six Indian cities in 2012 (Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Pune and Hyderabad), we were thrilled, having seen it work on US highways years earlier.

Quick answer:<\/strong> In the Google Maps app, tap the layers button (stacked squares) and choose Traffic<\/strong>.

When you start navigation, Google Maps uses live traffic automatically to suggest the fastest route, show delays and reroute you.<\/p>\n
