Google Maps

Maps, routes, and local places

Google Maps helps drivers, walkers, cyclists, and public transport users find routes and reach destinations. It suits everyday travel, unfamiliar areas, and people comparing nearby shops, restaurants, services, and other places before they visit. Search results can include ratings, opening details, photos, busy periods, and location information, depending on the place.

Navigation features

The app provides turn-by-turn directions for driving, walking, cycling, and public transport. Driving routes can respond to traffic and reported incidents, while transit views can show available bus and train options. Street View and panoramic imagery let users inspect roads, entrances, and surroundings in advance. Selected map areas can also be saved for use when a data connection is unavailable.

• Search businesses, landmarks, addresses, and public facilities.
• Compare route options across several travel modes.
• Check map layers, traffic conditions, and public transport information.
• Use visual place information to identify entrances and nearby surroundings.

Who it is for

Google Maps is a practical choice for commuters, travelers, delivery drivers, pedestrians, and anyone who wants one app for directions and local discovery. Its broad place database is useful when planning an outing, checking an unfamiliar address, or finding services close to a current location. Continuous location use and detailed map views may use more battery, especially during long journeys.
