When you’re searching for driving directions between two points on the map, you might see an eco-friendly alternative route marked with a green leaf icon—this will save you money on fuel and help the planet at the same time. Tap the route to switch to it and see how much gas you’re going to save. If you’d rather default to the fastest route every time, you can configure this by opening the app settings and tapping Navigation options.
