When you’re on the road, the fewer interactions you have with your phone, the better it is for your safety. But it’s not so easy when you have to rely on Google Maps to get directions, especially when the information you’re looking for requires unlocking. Luckily, Google has introduced a major feature called Glanceable Directions, which makes it easy to gather all the important information with just a glance. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

By default, Google Maps shows you updated ETAs for different routes and where you need to turn, but only when you unlock your phone. Also, you can’t follow and compare routes from the overview itself. But that’s all changing with the rollout of quick-look directions.

In short, with Glanceable Directions enabled, you can compare routes and get updated ETAs without even starting your trip—that is, from the route overview itself. And once you’ve started, you don’t have to unlock your phone to see updated ETAs, where to turn next, or to have your route updated when you choose to take the road less traveled. In terms of convenience and safety, Glanceable Directions is a feature that should be kept enabled for good.

Quick view directions are disabled by default, so make sure to enable them first using the guide below.
