What it does
What Google Maps does
Google Maps shows maps, finds places, and gives route guidance for driving, walking, cycling, and public transport. It uses your phone’s location to track where you are, provide turn-by-turn directions, and adjust routes when traffic or other road conditions change. It suits anyone who needs one app for everyday navigation, local searches, and checking a destination before visiting.
Finding places and planning visits
Search covers businesses, landmarks, services, and other points of interest. Place pages can include ratings, opening information, photos, reviews, and indicators of how busy a location may be. Street View and other imagery let you inspect roads, buildings, entrances, and nearby surroundings before you arrive.
Routes with and without a connection
The app supports several ways to travel rather than focusing only on car navigation. Public transport information can help with buses and trains, while walking and cycling routes cover shorter journeys. You can also save map areas for use when a data connection is unavailable, which is useful when travelling or moving through poor-signal areas.
- Location access: used to show your position and provide live navigation.
- Mobile data: needed for current traffic, place information, imagery, and many route updates.
- Battery use: can rise during continuous GPS navigation, especially on longer journeys.
