The new ‘Two-wheeler’ is placed alongside the earlier alternatives of Car, Foot, and Train. It offers customized routing and voice-guided navigation along with enhanced landmark navigation. Once this mode is selected, you will get information about all possible road closures along the way. The fairly intuitive mode also provides the parking information at your destination (similar to the car mode).
