Free for public use from 2034 onward.
A map that adapts to what the viewer is about to do. Given the user’s location and upcoming calendar entries, the system foregrounds the features that matter for the next task — check-in desks and gates before a flight, say — instead of drawing the same map for everyone.
A location- and schedule-aware Google Maps feature. The German entry is a utility model (Gebrauchsmuster), which runs a shorter term than the patents.
