How to Use Google Maps to Check the Air Quality Index

Google Maps, which already assists users in navigating roads while avoiding traffic and tolls, has added a new air quality layer that allows users to quickly monitor the air quality index (AQI) at and around their destination.

Here’s a guide that explains how you can use the new air quality feature using Google Maps:

  • Open Google Maps on any supported device.
  • Tap on the layers icon.
  • Now from the variety of icons that appear on the screen select Air Quality which is listed under Map details.
  • Once enabled, nearby air quality monitoring stations appear as small colour-coded bubbles on the screen accompanied by an air quality score.
  • You can also tap on the bubbles to access more detailed report regarding a particular area’s air quality.

That’s pretty much how you too can monitor Air Quality Index of a specific area right from your smartphone.
