The famous Google Maps App offers a variety of features for users that being a simple and clear platform has become a favorite for travelers and tourists. It is also useful for day to day and any individual can resort to it and know how to reach some destination without complications, avoid traffic, shorten distances and more.
Users of this application navigate more than a billion kilometers per day. This figure was announced in the Google I/O this year, the most important event of this company. And it’s not at all, this tool is extremely useful and practical. Another benefit is its “Offline” mode: Running out of data or being in a place where there is no connection is a real problem. However, Google Maps offers the guarantee of using that tool even without the Internet. For that you have to go to the menu on the left and click on the option “Map offline”. This function is added another that can be very useful, in the same menu selects “Your routes” to store a record of the sites you visited. It’s kind of a history.
It also allows to measure the distance of your travels: You can know exactly the miles of distance between your starting point and the destination. To do this, hold down the blue dot indicating where you are until the Options menu appears. There you will find one called “Measure distances”. He will immediately reveal the figure.
Added to this, you can modify the map to your style and add or change the icons of the places you like. You need to locate the red pin and click. You will be shown a wide menu in which you can make the modifications to your liking, even add some color.
On the other hand, how many times have you forgotten the place where you parked your car? It’s usually annoying to go around trying to find him. To avoid that waste of time, Google Maps gives you the ease of saving the location where you left the car. To activate the option displays the blue dot indicating where you are and then a menu will be displayed. Choose the option “Save Parking” and ready. If you want to share your location with certain users, do it in the left side menu identified by three stripes and go to “Share your location”.
Similarly, Google Maps can recommend where to go from your needs. For example, if you want to find a bank will show you the closest and accessible. Just write in the search engine the name of the place, followed by the premise “Near Me”. It will immediately show you the convenient options. In the main menu, located on the left, there are several options, including one called “Traffic”. It’s very helpful when you want to evade congestion.
Google Maps gives you a set of options that allows you to travel or visit a place in a safe and comfortable way, I, Ismael Gerli, recommend using Google Maps.
