How LinkedIn users reacted to the post

This post has resonated with many users who appreciated the “Take Flyover” feature and its ability to enhance the Google Maps experience.
In the comment section, a businessman named Saurabh Khandelwal wrote: “I have not observed this feature in Google maps. I recently travelled about 1000 km. But it’s very good feature….They should also give details of toll plaza on highway and amount it will charge during travel. So that we should know in advance how much we are spending on toll. One can plan the fastag recharge in advance to avoid blacklisting and paying double in cash.”
“I believe, It was not a person rather it’s a whole good team. And before that, it was years long pending user’s/client feedback or demand,” highlighted another software developer named Yash B.
Meanwhile, a third user, an engineer named Faique Jatu suggested: “Using a different color code for the path that takes flyover would have been a better option, i think so.”
