Google Maps can already help you avoid toll roads, but now it will let you know just how much you’ll pay if you take those (supposedly) quicker routes. Android Policenotes that Google has enabled its previously promised toll pricing in Maps for Android and iOS. Check the route options before you navigate and you’ll get an estimated cost based on when you’re travelling.
You can also tell Maps to show prices with or without toll passes. The app will still let you avoid toll roads whenever possible.
The prices should be available for about 2,000 toll roads in the US, India, Indonesia and Japan. More countries are “coming soon,” Google said. This won’t be the most comprehensive feature at first, then, but it could prove valuable if it saves you money or time on a lengthy trip.

Elon Musk will attend a virtual Twitter meeting this Thursday (June 16th) to field employee questions about his potential purchase of the social network, according to a letter to workers from Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal seen by Business Insider. It’ll be the first time Musk as addressed workers since he made an offer to acquire it earlier this year for $43 billion.
Twitter employees will be able to submit questions starting tomorrow, and the company’s chief marketing officer and head of people, Leslie Berland, will moderate the call. Since the acquisition was announced, employees have been concerned about things like layoffs, stock grants and whether Musk will rescind the bans of people like Donald Trump.
Those points and others will reportedly be addressed by Musk during the session, with Agrawal writing that “we’ll cover topics and questions that have been raised over the past few weeks.” Musk previously outlined changes he wanted to make, like getting rid of spam bots and authenticating users.
The status of the purchase is currently in limbo, as Musk claimed that Twitter committed a “material breach” of the deal’s terms by refusing to disclose sufficient information about bot spam and fake account data. Last week, the company said it would comply with those requests by giving him access to its full “firehose” stream of data.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk may as well be the living tech embodiment of Katy Perry’s 2008 hit song, “Hot N Cold,” given that it perfectly describes his state of mind with its insightful prose: “Cause you’re hot then you’re cold.
