The ridesharing service, Uber, announced it would update its iOS and Android apps by adding two new features that should make a user's ride experience "seamless."

The company addressed the changes in a blog post that said it envisions a future where coordination between the potential passenger and the driver is no longer needed, according to NDTV Gadgets.

"Simply push the button, and the rest is essentially on cruise control: the car quickly shows up at exactly the right place and whisks you away to your destination via the best possible route. The latest rider and driver app releases take us one step closer to that world," the company said in its blog.

The most recent update of the application on Android and iOS offers new features to both the driver of the taxi and the passenger.

Uber has added a destination entry for a passenger that lets him pick a destination while waiting for the vehicle to arrive.

Aside from being able to input destinations, the update adds a turn-by-turn navigation feature for the driver. The feature automatically provides the Uber driver with directions akin to a global positioning system.

Uber said its aim in adding its own GPS is to conserve time by eliminating the need to type an address and remove the driver's need to use another app for directions

"Together, these features provide a seamless end-to-end ride experience that saves otherwise wasted time for both riders and drivers. For drivers, that means Uber is more lucrative: saving time on trips means more trips per hour," said Uber.
