Features of Google Maps
It provides step-by-step directions from your starting point to your destination.
When there is no Internet connectivity, Offline Mode uses the saved versions of maps. This feature
is useful when travelling through areas with unstable Internet.
It gives you 2–3 route options for your destination according to the traffic situation. It usually chooses
the shortest route, but you can also change the route by tapping on the route you want to take.
If you have to meet someone and are not able to reach the place, you can ask them to share their
live location.
You can also search for essential services nearby.
Due to one wrong turn, if you lose track of the route, Google map automatically redirects you to
your destination.
Google map has IVR (Interactive voice response). It keeps guiding you on the route.
You can save the route map for a journey you will be taking, by creating Custom Travel Maps.
