| 4 tips to improve your Google Maps experience |
The Google Maps app has a long list of features that can improve the user experience, but most of them are not visible as Google hides some of the most important features of the app in the settings.
Unknown Features of Google Maps
Augmented Reality Tour
Google Maps uses augmented reality technology to provide real-time information while driving. This feature also makes it easy to find places that may interest you, for example b- restaurants and popular attractions in the area.
However, this feature is not available in any location or region. If it's available near you, you'll see an icon with a "Live View" icon at the bottom of the app screen.
Measure the distance between two locations in Google Maps
If you want to reach another point from your current location, the app will tell you the possible distance. With the help of the distance measurement function, you can use this function in many scenes and daily trips.
It's like choosing between walking, driving, or learning about local shortcuts. To use this feature, please read the article: Measure distance in Google Maps.
Know the parking spaces before you leave
One of the most frustrating things about driving is finding a free parking space. There is nothing worse than arriving at your destination and searching for a long time in the hope of finding free space. However, you can confirm parking spaces in advance using this app.
To use this function, please enter your destination and choose a route. When viewing directions, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see information about nearby parking spaces.
Find a car easily
There are very large parking spaces in public places such as shopping centers or stadiums. This is a great way to find your car when you are not dealing with a very difficult task. However, the app can help you with that.
So the next time you park your car in a place like this. Open the app and tap the blue dot to confirm your current location. And select the "Set as parking" option to easily access your vehicle in the future.
