Navigation for Everyday Travel
Google Maps is a mobile mapping and navigation app for drivers, walkers, cyclists, and public-transit users. It helps people find places, plan routes, follow turn-by-turn directions, and adjust journeys when traffic or other delays affect the trip. It suits commuters, travelers, and anyone who needs a practical way to explore unfamiliar areas.
Maps, Routes, and Local Places
The app combines map search with detailed information about streets, businesses, landmarks, and transport networks. You can look up restaurants, shops, hotels, stations, and other destinations, then compare route options before starting. Business listings may include ratings, photos, opening information, and other visitor details, making the app useful for choosing where to go as well as getting there.
Useful Travel Tools
- Multiple travel modes: Get directions for driving, walking, cycling, and public transport.

- Street-level imagery: Preview roads, entrances, and destinations through Street View where coverage is available.
