Google Maps gives an upgrade to road trips

If you are planning a road trip soon, update Google Maps on your smartphone now. With the latest update of Google Maps on Android (coming soon to iOS), you can now plan a road trip with multi-stop directions. Just open the app, enter a destination, tap the corner menu and then click “Add stop”. To rearrange the order of your stops, tap and hold the three dot menu to the left of “Add stop” and drag it to the position you want. “No matter where your travel plans take you this monsoon season and beyond, the new Google Maps features will get you there and help keep track of all the memories you make along the way,” said Sanket Gupta, Product Manager, Google Maps, in a statement. The users can also add as many stops as they like. Once you are done, tap “Finished” and your multi-stop routing is complete. One can even search for petrol pumps, ATMs or restaurants in the map. Google Maps users on Android can also preserve their travel memories with “Your Timeline”. This update comes right after hints of multi-destination navigation found in the Google Maps APK.
