                 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.
