Amap launches new feature nationwide: Navigation voice prompts waterlogging points

According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, there will be heavy to torrential rain in some areas of the south from July 6 to 9. Everyone must pay attention to safety when traveling on rainy days.

On July 6, the AutoNavi Map APP launched a new feature nationwide - waterlogging reminder. Users can check waterlogging points on the road in advance, and there are voice prompts during navigation.

In addition, you can also click "More Tools" on the Gaode homepage, select "Report", and click "Waterlogging" to add waterlogging information. ​​​​

Every car has a safe wading depth and a maximum wading depth. The safe wading depth is not more than the height of the exhaust pipe, which is generally half of the wheel hub.

Generally speaking, when driving on flooded roads, it is best not to exceed 20 kilometers per hour. Be sure to shift the gear to a low position, keep the speed above 3000 rpm, and control the steering wheel to avoid being affected by the water flow.

In addition, never follow the car in front while it is moving. The car in front will drain some water, and the backflow of water will create larger waves. If you follow at this time, the wading depth will increase greatly. It can also prevent the car in front from stopping due to a malfunction, forcing the car behind to stop in the water as well, resulting in two vehicles moving forward and backward.
