Enhancing Google Maps Features

Requirements Clarification & Assessment

1. Objective of the Enhancement:
   • Determine if the goal is to enhance user experience, increase engagement, or improve revenue streams. Clarify if the focus is on a specific feature or the entire platform.
2. Scope of Improvement:
   • Is the enhancement directed towards a specific user group or geographical region? Are we focusing on web, mobile, or a combination of both?
3. User Segmentation:
   • Identify the primary user groups of Google Maps such as drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and commuters. Understand their unique needs and challenges.
4. Current Challenges:
   • Assess the existing pain points users face while using Google Maps. For drivers, this could include inaccurate navigation at road forks or lack of real-time traffic updates.
5. Data Availability:
   • Evaluate the data available to understand user behavior, preferences, and feedback. This will guide the direction of potential improvements.

Clarifying Questions:

• Are there specific regions or countries where improvements are prioritized?
• What are the primary goals of the enhancements (e.g., user satisfaction, increased usage, better accuracy)?
• Is there a focus on integrating with third-party services such as rideshares or local transit systems?
