                  Features of Google Maps

                  Some features of Google Maps are as follows:

                     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. You can change
                     the route by tapping it; it usually takes the shortest route.
                      If you need to meet someone but can't get there, ask them their live location.

                      You can also search for essential services nearby.
                      If you lose track of the route because of one wrong turn, Google Maps automatically redirects you
                     to your destination.

                      Google Maps has Interactive Voice Response (IVR). 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.
