New Google Maps feature knows where you want to go

A new feature of Google Maps tries to predict where you want to go. It's no longer needed to enter the location, Google already knows where you want to go and automatically starts the navigation.

The so-called "Driving Mode" knows based on your location and route history where you want to go. This way the app can predict where you probably want to go. Besides the route it will also provide you with real time traffic information.

The feature hasn't been enabled for everyone yet, the version that contains "Driving Mode" is version 9.19 which is slowly rolled out. According to Android Police it's not possible to enable the feature yet.

The new Google Maps version also adds other new features, such as the possibility to mute audio from the navigation screen, which currently requires an additional swipe because it's hidden in a menu.
