Benson Boone is ready to take his music on the road and is showing fans the way to each stop.
Google Maps has partnered with a 23-year-old pop star to create a driving avatar that guides users to venues throughout his American Heart World Tour. Kicking off in Saint Paul, Minnesota on Aug. 22, Boone’s tour includes 30 stops across the United States and Canada ahead of several international stops.
The limited-edition driving avatar of the “Beautiful Things” singer in a green vehicle is now available on the directions app, Google announced Thursday, Aug. 14. Android and iOS phone users can access the custom avatar by tapping the location indicator blue arrow and selecting Boone’s car after selecting their navigation, according to Google Maps.
Boone fans will notice another fun feature where Google Maps’ signature Pegman character will backflip like the singer. Users can notice this on their computers while using the Street View mode at venues along the tour.
