Place Details Now Provided by Google On Navigation

I got in my GLE this morning and that showed up on my Navigation. Anyone else have this show up or know what it means?

If the navigation is now using Google for location stuff it would be nice if they can also use Google for the traffic information too.

Looks like you need to press an icon for more info on what additional detail is available at that location? P=parking? Phone number? Street View?
Google has been gathering business info for several years…maybe finally including it in maps. They own Waze & have their own traffic data base so traffic info is just waiting to improve map data even more. I get some traffic now but it’s minimal. i.e. fastest route!

Your instrument cluster display isn't clickable, but it should be a mirror of the center dash screen, if you select it.

Does it show in the center screen, and can you click it there?

It showed up for me when I started the car, in the driver's display. Right where I was, but no 'place details' about my house.
I opened up the center NAV and there it was as well, but it wasn't clickable on that display.

However when I went back to the driver's display and touched the touchpad on the left steering wheel spoke, and the icon disappeared.

Drove to town and saw no additional information.

?????

I saw a news article yesterday related to MBUX update
https://www.carsifu.my/news/over-the...ng-dolby-atmos
Vehicles with first-generation MBUX will now get access to Place Details, provided by Google.

This feature – which is already available for second-generation MBUX – adds detailed information about more than 200 million businesses and other locations worldwide, including business hours, photos, ratings and reviews.

As this update is performed on the server, it is automatically available to customers.

Nice find.
If it's 'automatically available,' any ideas about how to access it?

I haven't have a trip yet so I didn't see that specific icon, but I do notice the search is switched from Here to Google, which provides a lot more details.

That is really good as I usually use Google to search for places instead of the MB Navigation because half the time MB navigation cannot find what I am looking for without manually typing in the address.

This is new, does it still use HERE or is it completely replaced by Google?

Well, I was caught in a wreck-induced traffic jam for about 15 minutes today, and it never showed up on NAV. (Although the Google icon shown above appeared from time to time, but this time I couldn't do anything about it.)

HERE, in my experience, would have shown up within a minute or two, but Google has been a lot slower.

Smells like Google.

When I click on the traffic section of the menu, it still shows it is provided by Here, so it seems like only the place details is replaced by Google.
