Google Maps has updated its incident reporting feature, replacing "Speed trap" with "Police" to allow for broader reporting of police presence, including traffic direction and roadside stops. This change reflects a return to the wording initially presented in July when the revamped system was announced.
The updated incident reporting system, launched in July across mobile apps, Android Auto, and CarPlay, simplifies reporting various road incidents like construction, lane closures, and crashes. The "Police" option is now more prominently positioned within the reporting interface.
While the change is confirmed for mobile apps, its implementation in Android Auto and CarPlay is yet to be verified. This update follows other recent Google Maps enhancements, such as improved stair highlighting and a new version numbering system for Android and iOS.
