Helping you make sustainable choices with Google Maps and beyond Always want to choose the fastest route, no matter what? That’s okay too - simply adjust your preferences in Settings. With just a few taps, you can see the relative fuel savings and time difference between the two routes and choose the one that works best for you. Now, in addition to showing the fastest route, Google Maps will also display the one that's most fuel efficient, if it doesn’t happen to also be the fastest. And this is a real concern - according to Statista’s 2022 report, road transportation is the largest source of carbon emissions throughout Europe. With eco-friendly routing, you can choose a route that’s optimized for lower fuel consumption, which helps you save money on fuel and reduce carbon emissions - something that’s top of mind for many Europeans. This is now possible thanks to eco-friendly routing in Google Maps, which starts rolling out in nearly 40 countries across Europe today. Given the length of the trip, it makes the most sense to drive, and you immediately search for the fastest route.īut what if there were other options: A route that would take nine minutes more, but would save nearly 30% of your expected fuel consumption? Now rolling out: Eco-friendly routing across Europe To decide how to get there, you open Google Maps - which offers multiple navigation options including walking, cycling and public transit directions. Imagine you’re planning a day trip from your home in Athlone, Ireland over to Limerick – over an hour and a half journey.
