The growth of motorcycles in Bangladesh is staggering, indeed. According to BRTA(Bangladesh Road Transport Authority), the growth of two-wheeler in this country is 200%. It’s not a surprise as the ride-sharing through two-wheeler has become insanely popular.
So what does this new navigation mode do? Before the new navigation mode was introduced, most riders needed to do a calculation in their mind in order to estimate their arrival times. They had to do it based on a couple of facts- combination of walking and driving routes.

You can enable the ‘Set off-route alerts’ option after searching for your desired destination. If your car deviates more than 0.5km from the route(suggested by Google), your device will buzz and let you know that you are going in the wrong direction. You can also share your live trip with your family directly from that screen. That way, they will know you are off route. Furthermore, they will also be able to keep track of your journey.
