GOOGLE REMOVES DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC TIME ESTIMATES FROM NAVIGATION


Google Maps has removed the feature which calculated driving time with traffic, either live or predictive, from its product. This feature allowed users to see how long it would take to drive to their destination with current traffic conditions. According to Google sources "We have decided that our information systems behind this feature were not as good as they could be. Therefore, we have taken this offline and are currently working to come up with a better, more accurate solution. We are always working to bring you the best Google Maps experience with updates like these!"

Basically, the feature didn't work as expected. Hopefully, they will continue to work on the algorithms and launch the traffic estimates again.
