Be it for the everyday commute or the occasional log trip, driving is certainly a pleasurable experience. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, the problem of traffic jams also has to be faced. In such a situation, the navigation system is very useful to improve the driving experience. For this many times, we use Google Maps. If you also use Google Maps while driving, then this news is for you. In this news, we are going to tell you the 5 most useful features of Google Maps, which can make your driving experience fun and save you money as well. Let's know.
Download offline map
One of the biggest concerns among commuters is the missing network, without which navigation apps tend to crash. It is always beneficial to download offline maps before starting a journey. Users also get the facility to download maps of specific cities on Google Maps. You can download the offline map before you travel and delete it later if you don't need it.
Select mode of transport
Google Maps automatically determines the best routes for you based on vehicle and traffic conditions. Remember to select the appropriate symbol (Bike or Car) before starting your journey to determine the best route on Google Maps, as it will show the fastest available routes based on the vehicle type selected. Google Maps also suggests walking directions.
Enable live traffic updates
If you are traveling in a city, enable the "show traffic on map" option to get real-time updates about information like congestion, traffic, etc. Depending on the traffic conditions, the estimated time of arrival may also vary. But you can see it in real-time and plan your route accordingly.
Turn on voice navigation
Voice navigation is another great feature on Google Maps, which gives voice directions to the user. This is a very useful feature, especially when using headphones while traveling. This feature eliminates the hassle of repeatedly looking at the phone screen while traveling. It also alerts you when the mode is reached. Along with this, you can also reduce its volume as per your convenience, normal and high.
Enable toll price
Google Maps can also provide information about the cost of tolls from one place to another. Let us tell you that most of the roads in India do not charge tolls to the bike drivers. However, for car drivers, this can be a great convenience during long journeys.
