You can now ask Google Maps to navigate to Home or Work instead of having to type in the address. Everyone who uses Google Maps Navigation knows the navigation feature that offers voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions.
You can search for a place or tap it on the map, then touch and hold the blue Directions button at the bottom right, and Google Maps will choose the best route and launch straight into Navigation mode. If you want to tweak the route or change your mode of transport, then just tap it once, make your changes, then tap Start.
If you want to share your location in real time with family or friends, tap on your ID picture, and in the resulting menu, tap Location sharing. With that, a new menu appears with a blue Get Started button. You can choose to share your location with people in your Contacts for 1 hour , Until you turn this off , or use the plus or minus button to add or subtract location-sharing time. If they have a Google account, it will share your position with those designated people in their Google Maps app or sent as a link they can tap.
You can also share your location via a host of other apps, like Messages. Anyone who is sharing their location with you will have their own tab at the top of the screen and you can tap on it to see where they are. To share a location you like, whether you are currently there or not, just tap and hold on any location on the map to drop a pin.
Tap the address section at the bottom of the screen to expand it, then tap Share. You can also send a photo view of the place. If you want to see a photo of your chosen place, use Street View. To access it, touch and hold on the map to drop a pin on your location, then tap at the bottom where it says Dropped pin or the address to reveal the information. You should also see an image of the location near the bottom of your screen.
To share that Street View, tap the menu in the top-right corner, and then tap Share. Tabs at the top of the screen direct you to specific items like Restaurants, Coffee, Hotels, Bars, Attractions, Parks, and Gas to help narrow your search. You can also search specifically by typing directly in the search bar at the top or via voice search by tapping the microphone icon at the top right. You can often call businesses right from the Maps interface. Everyone knows how to use the pinch gesture to zoom in and out, but you can also zoom one-handed in Google Maps.
With a bit of planning, you can download and view Google Maps offline, too. With larger areas, you will get a prompt to select a smaller area and be advised of how much space it will consume on your device before it starts downloading in the background.
Your saved maps will be listed in the Google Maps menu, which is accessible by tapping your Google ID picture on the main Explore tab. One item in the list of options is Offline maps , and that is where you can view your download. These maps expire in one year, but you can update them anytime.
Offline maps are pretty limited. Google Maps shows you recent searches when you tap on the search bar, but you can easily save locations, something that will be a real time-saver in the future when you look for a place again. To save a location, tap on the place you want to save on the map, expand the information by tapping on the address at the bottom, and then tap Save. You can choose to save it as a favorite place with the heart icon, mark it as a place you want to go, or add it to the list of your starred places.
You can find your favorites and saved places under the Saved tab at the bottom of the main window. Google Maps can help you get where you want to go on public transportation and get there on time by letting you check bus and train schedules. Simply enter the location you want to travel to in the search bar, tap on Directions and tap on the icon of the train at the top. If you want to check when a later train is available or see when the last train leaves, then tap where it says Depart at and enter a specific time, or you can tap on Last to find the latest option available.
You can also filter the results by type of transport bus, train, underground , and set preferences for fewer transfers or less walking via Options in the top-right corner. It even links to Lyft, which will launch a separate Lyft app to call for a ride, if you chose that. Google has several Maps views, including map types and map details. The major map types are Default like a flat atlas , Satellite, and Terrain.
You can view each of these alone, but you can also layer in details like Transit , Traffic , and Biking to each of the main views. You can always tilt your map and get an isometric view in Google Maps. Tap and hold on the map with two fingers slightly apart and then swipe up. Moving your fingers in a circular motion will rotate the map. The Terrain option will show some hills, but it also sometimes shows the interior plan of certain locations. Google Maps accepts voice commands.
Just tap on the microphone icon at the top right and then speak your destination. You can turn off the voice by saying Mute or Be quiet. You can also say Show traffic , ask it to Show alternate routes , or say Next turn to find out what your next turn is. Many options have multiple triggers and there are lots of possibilities.
You can plot a route with multiple locations in Google Maps. To do so, set up directions for your first location as you normally would, then tap the three-dot button at the top right and choose Add stop. Add as many places as you need and then tap Finished. Google Maps will now guide you to each location in turn. Google offers a comprehensive set of tools for creating your own custom maps for family and friends, allowing you to mark routes, points of interest, directions, and more.
Getting around town is a snap with Maps. See real-time information about transit arrival and departure times, outages, current locations of buses and trains, and connections.

See which restaurants are past security at the airport, where the nearest restroom is, or what floor your favorite store is on at the mall.
