All these nifty features when most people would be happy if they 1. quit auto refreshing and blowing away the view and route, 2. show the damn street names, and 3. support Saved Routes.

Ditto, no obvious ways to navigate the app consistently. Always having to use trial & error method to bring up the app screens I want. Requires memorizing the sequence of taps vs intuitive obvious UI.

Hi. Any suggestions on better use of maps while using walking directions? I always find that it’s really hard to use, and quite counterintuitive which direction to walk, until I see my location moving - I must be doing something wrong!

@robbit4butterfly Ай бұрын

In former days there was Google Latitude which gives you the possibility to share your location only by showing the city you're currently in. I then had many contacts on my map visible (as they were willing to share their location not by city and house but by town) and in two occasions I had make a spontaneous appointment with them. Too bad that Google still doesn't offer this. And if they do now, they probably will take it away soon (again).😕

Hi Tasia I love all your google videos and very useful - but I wonder if you could help me I have Android 10 ( I am going to update at the end of the year ) with the latest Google lens app and the latest Google maps app, in Google maps the lens icon isn't visible how do I add the Google lens icon in Google maps ? ( I have allowed the permissions in both apps to be able to allow it ) but it still isn't there, why

Hey Tasia, thanks for a great video, some great tips in there. I'm hoping you can help me with a Google map proble. I want to map out a walk I am doing. I'm planning on walking 12 miles a day. Is there a way to plot this on a "Google My Map?" I'm going to be walking for about 30 days so need to plot each day individually in a singel map. Can you help? Thank you in advance, Gx

@TasiaCustode 23 күн бұрын

Hey, yes I believe you can do what you're asking. Head to Google My Maps and click on 'create a new map'. Go to the top left and click "Untitled map." Give your map a name and description. You should be able to plot out or add your walking route. You would simply save each route as their own map (so title them appropriately). Here's an old article that might be helpful too: ukoutdoors.co.uk/plot-a-walking-route-on-google-maps/#:~:text=Draw%20a%20Line&text=Select%20%E2%80%9CAdd%20walking%20route%E2%80%9D%20from,on%20your%20chosen%20starting%20location.

I have a question for you. Is there a way to track myself from an airplane while in flight to see where I am at any particular time? If I didn't say this right let me know. Thanks.

@TasiaCustode Ай бұрын

I think I know what you mean...I don't think so. You can see flight information, but I don't believe there's real-time tracking during the flight in Maps (assuming you have wifi). You can use Google to simply search the flight number and it'll tell you status :)

@@TasiaCustode the reason I ask is because I was sitting next a person who had his phone on and he could see exactly where we were flying from LA to El Paso. He tried to explain how he did that and I have never been able to do it. He did say that you have to download areas online then be able to use them off line. Make sense?

If you're on Android, it could be the power settings or battery saver mode. Try toggling “Never sleeping apps” located under “Battery and device care” section of the Settings menu. Here is a helpful Quora thread: www.quora.com/How-can-I-keep-the-screen-always-on-when-using-Google-Maps-on-Android
