Google Maps is one of the most popular navigation apps of all time. It contains over 220 countries and territories mapped, as well as hundreds of millions of businesses and points of interest.
Google Maps also features real-time GPS data, traffic information, and transit tips.
With Google Maps, you can also explore local neighborhoods and the best dining places around town, regardless of where you are!
The great thing about Google Maps is that it helps you find your way with ease. It doesn’t matter if you are driving, walking, or looking for a bus, Google Maps has the perfect solution for you to get to your destination in time!
The developers also introduced ride-sharing options like Uber inside of Google Maps.
The app also features offline services like offline maps that help you navigate the streets without having to rely on an internet connection.
If you find it hard to analyze the area you are in via map view, the app has the Street View option that turns it into a first-person perspective of the street you are navigating.
