Tech Deck Tricks: One Simple Google Maps Trick Might Save You From Getting Lost

Google Maps is one of the most useful mobile apps, especially if you travel a lot. But whether you're looking for a new restaurant in your hometown or traveling to your dream destination, sometimes apps prevent or stop registering your movements, leaving you lost and confused. Luckily, with a simple Google Maps trick, you can prevent this from happening again.

If you've ever been in this situation, chances are you've been clenching your fists in frustration, or at least venting your frustration. However, one way to make sure you don't get lost due to poor service or other issues is to use the offline maps feature of Google Maps.

To use this simple Google Maps trick, you must first know where you are going. For example, let's say you're planning a trip to New York but don't want to worry about losing connection when you're away from home. To download the offline map, open the app and search for "New York". This will display the location and give you a lot of information about it at the bottom of the screen.

Look for different buttons below. You can view routes , save , add tags , and more. Scroll right from here. If an offline map is available for the area, Download Offline Maps will be the last item on the list. This will take you to a new screen where you can set the exact dimensions of the map you want to download. Google has added a new Google Maps AI feature to make navigation easier than ever.

This is useful for making sure you can go anywhere without worrying too much about your phone's internet connection. However, since the maps are based on static data, they do not provide as important information as real-time traffic data. In fact, offline maps show directions and information as if there were no traffic. So keep that in mind when using this simple Google Maps trick.

Google goes into great detail about the entire process in a March blog post, which explains why the company is now offering this feature.
