Google Maps now calculates the cost of tolls for your travel

According to Google, a new Google Maps feature that estimates the amount you’ll have to pay in tolls to travel a specific route has begun to surface in the Android and iOS apps.

The new toll pricing is accessible in the app, according to Android Police, however it’s not yet visible on a couple of smartphones we tried along the same route. Google first unveiled the toll service in April.

Google says that the presented toll pricing is based on “trusted information from local tolling authorities,” and that the total cost is calculated using toll passes and the time of day.

When calculating routes, there is still an option to “avoid tolls.” Google Maps could previously warn you when a toll is due on a travel, but it couldn’t compute how much that toll would be.

According to Google, the capability is available on its iOS and Android apps for “almost 2000” toll highways in the United States, India, Japan, and Indonesia. It says it will “soon” expand support to new countries.
