Google Maps will be adding Enhanced Navigation next month to show lanes, crosswalks, and road signs clearly on the app. You just need to follow the blue line in the lane markers. Google plans to bring this feature to Android and iOS in over 30 metro areas first before rolling out to more places over time.
