As the battle to win over ride-hail drivers continues, Lyft is working to improve its driver experience relative to Uber, its larger rival. The next step: Making it easier for drivers to know where they’re supposed to be going.

Starting today, Lyft drivers will be able to navigate to their next pickup or dropoff directly in their driver app. Prior to this new feature, drivers had to switch out of the Lyft app to a third-party navigation service of choice — Google Maps or Waze — and then switch back when they were looking for the next passenger.
