Maps

The apps also describe routes to bypass traffic using real-time GPS navigation, automatically changing the route based on current conditions, including accidents and road closures. You can also easily choose alternative routes if you prefer a more scenic route.

Not driving? No problem. Run cycling and walking routes and use real-time transit information to find the best public transport option - buses, trains and subways, as well as ride-sharing services.

Travelers will appreciate the extensive library of local restaurants, activities, events and bars, including must-see spots curated by local experts, Google and several publishers. They even help you navigate places like malls, airports, stadiums, and buildings.

You can save a list of favorite places for later use and share these lists with your friends. Or create a short list of options and circulate it to your friends so they can all vote to decide where to meet for dinner or drinks.
