Google Maps is finally rolling out glanceable directions.

The feature enables Maps users to track their journey via the lock screen, or in the app via the route overview provided before hitting “start.” It’s now rolling out widely to both iOS and Android devices over a year since Google first announced it, according to Android Police.

The toggle to enable glanceable directions is located under Navigation settings, within the main Google Maps Settings menu.
