Google Maps To Show Toll Prices To Help Travellers Calculate Total Expenditure
Every estimated road trip expenditure would incorporate several factors, including fuel charges and toll prices. If someone is hiring a car, that cost will also be included in the total expenditure. If a driver is hired, that cost will also come into consideration. By introducing this new feature, Google Maps has made cost calculations easier for road trip enthusiasts. Travellers will be able to see the toll prices once they start the navigation.
