Thanks for the great tips. During my stay abroad, I always carried Google Maps with me. Whenever I left my hotel and needed to move from place to place, this map was indispensable. It gave me directions on which train to take, which platform to wait on, and what time to leave. Without it, I would have stayed in one place day in and day out. If you want to travel the way you want, learn how to use this divine app.
I thought I knew Google Maps quite well, but turns out I didn't. My favourites are: 1. Restoring changes to route 8:55 2. Checking typical traffic on different days/times 9:40 Thanks Kevin.
Kevin, you have been doing a fine job with your videos and the calm, informative way of presenting them. They are useful for me as a self-taught senior without any formal instruction other than a class or two over the last 8-10 years. Your beginners tutorial for Excel was very helpful and easy to follow as well and was, by far, the quickest way I've ever comprehended the instructions. Thank you and I hope you stick around.
Excellent review. I knew a lot of it but a useful refresher. PLUS... I totally couldn't figure out how to make offline maps work and this was FANTASTIC!! I have a huge adventure trip coming up with multiple days of no cell connection. This will be an enormous help and augment my paper charts (maps). Well done!!
#21 ... once you've setup a trip with google maps, you can share the trip progress with other people by sending them a link. They will be able to pinpoint your location and by extension know your arrival time in real-time. very useful video, btw.👍
A recommendation to other similar content, you could separate all the first part to things on the phone app and the second section to be on things on the desktop app or website
A trick as to using Google Maps is to check out a neighborhood you are going to like for a motel. Before you book or even go into an area, you can see if it has by its noisy, high traffic businesses and other signs if someplace you don't want to go to.
Yo Kevin I have noticed a great improvement in your content in the last few weeks. I am not saying that your previous content was bad, but now it has improved drastically. Even the tutorial that I know are not going to be useful for me or I already know those things, I still watch them because of your quality content. Please keep up this good work. I know you haven't getting more views lately as you were getting in the previous videos. But I personally enjoy them. Just keep up the hard work some day your views will definitely boost up. I also know that you have given your self a due dat of somewhere around july of 2022, for deciding whether to continue youtube or go back to your normal job. But what ever decision you take. Even if you decided to go back to your normal job, just don't stop posting videos ❤
Thanks you for this very useful video for the average person. After viewing it three times, I have come to the conclusion that I was only using 5% of the benefits of google maps.
That was a tremendous presentation Kevin. I have only used Maps in the last month or so and am very much a beginner with it but I am very impressed when comparing it with paid for navigators a few years ago - it trounced them, is free and integrates so well with search, even when using offline maps and having no internet connection. I shall try some of your tips.
I would love to see a Google Earth Pro Tips and Tricks video on trail map making for off roading and how to incorporate several trails and placemarks in one map.
Knew new thing I didn't know before, thanks🙂 Change vehicle icon Show different floors inside a building Drag and drop to modify route Traffic throughout the day
For electric vehicle drivers, there are some options under “settings”. You can select “electric” as engine type and if you also select “choose fuel efficient routes” it’ll route you the best way to get the most range. You can also configure the type of chargers you want the map to display.
Add A Stop feature is very helpful. I moved to a different state and naturally unfamiliar with the area. I can enter all my errands (stops) and rearrange for the most logical/efficient route.
Hi Kevin and greetings from sunny Singapore. I have been your subscriber for quite a while and I must say that your contents are getting better and more useful. Thank you very much for sharing so much information with us. I am getting better with Google Maps because of this tutorial. Stay blessed and stay safe.
informative video. though the options are available from long time, most of the users dont know about these. by the way what were you doing in Hyderabad !!
I never knew it could do all of these awesome things to make our lives easier! You are so awesome‼️ I tell everyone about you and they've subscribed. Please keep up your great work! Thank you so much‼️💕
Hi Kevin. Really enjoyed the video. I use Google maps to find the best public transport options both at home and abroad. I recently returned from Rome, Italy and Maps shows the best Metro/Bus combinations together with times and routes with options. Invaluable, especially as it is otherwise almost impossible to get bus maps either online or in paper form.
@Kevin, thanks for the nice tips! Just a suggestion that you beep "Ok Google" wherever you say the magic phrase in your videos, so that it doesn't trigger the Google Assistant of the viewers, like it did for me!
Hi Kevin. Is there a way to change to marker used for saved places? i use several lists to mark the National Park Sites that I want to visit or those I've already visited. Google has always placed a blue marker and I would like to use different colors or markers. Thanks
Nice tutorial. Is there a way to check the wind speed on Google Maps in particular, on a phone? Or perhaps, replace the AQI index with wind speed? Tks.
Kevin, EXCELLENT!! You are so efficient in your explanations. Only rarely miss a significant point. Where were you about 30 years ago or so when I was first fighting DOS???
Very informative video - thanks for this! 😀 Perhaps, you may consider doing a comparison with other similar navigation platforms, such as WAZE. Here, in Panama, WAZE used a lot.
I like how Google calendar and Google maps integrate seamlessly. When adding an appointment that includes an address or coordinates ( I use coordinates often as I don't live in a city. Some addresses are way off), Maps will automatically warn you 10 minutes before you need to leave for said appointment (based on your current location and traffic).
Hi Kevin, I see how to change a route by clicking and dragging the blue line and I've done that often on the computer. What I cannot do is send that modified route to the phone. I can send the route to the phone but I only get the start and end points, and the phone calculates its own route again, not the modified one. Also it is difficult to change the route on the phone.
You talk about marking where your vehicle is parked at understood… however, you do not touch base on what you do or how you get back to the vehicle… ?or if the marked parking spot removes itself or you have to remove it once you get back to your vehicle. Or if you can use this feature in a parking garage, more information is needed for people that are not familiar with this feature. Thank you, Thomas.
Very interesting and informative, I use street view when planning a motorcycle trip. I can look on a map and find what looks to be a great route only to be disappointed to see that it is not the quiet country highway I thought it was. However with street view I can see what it really looks like and choose. My riding buddies always let me pick road trip routes because I've been a map freak all my life, even as a kid I would look at maps and "travel". Now with Google Maps I am "The Man" !!! PS, I hope none of my buddies see this video or my secret is shattered 😉 Thank you Master, a thousand times.
Obviously there are different versions. I wanted til use the function that automatically saves my parking spot, but that doesn't exist in my version. Also, several functions are very well developed in the US, but I sometimes look at cities where I can use Street View in only 1 or 2 streets in the whole city. In the US it seems like every small alley is mapped. That's not the case in the reste of the world.
if you type "hotels near me" it will present the hotels and the price. It works the same for gas stations. For hotels if you click you can make a reservation in minutes. Excellent video!
Hi Kevin. Thanks for this handy list. I enjoy creating custom maps but I've never been able to figure out how to look at the map of attractions I want to visit while seeing where I am located at the moment. I guess what I am wondering is how to overlay my Saved Map where I've added points of interest over top a "live" map that shows the ever-helpful blue dot. Having to toggle back and forth eats time and gets confusing. Thanks for any help!
These are very useful tips. For the next video, could you please include a way to differentiate a tunnel or a bridge in google maps. also, how to make any route between houses other than the main road appear as an option to reach distination.
Great tips, Kevin. Another tip is that you can set to night mode even in the daytime. It may make the maps easier to read with slightly better contrast between roads and background.
How I haven't figured the public transit out yet. I have no car but always i was using the vehicle option. Thank you so much. I'm Job seeker and Google map been helping me so far and now even more.
Very interesting and informative, I wish I had watched your video before my trip so that I could get my routes recorded! Thought I would have heard of most of the tricks but turned out there is a lot more to know!! Great content and thank you :)
Thanks you very much kevin for share these all important info with us, before watch your videos i'd never knew many feature of the google map and now I'm better confirdend with this google map, keep support us.
I have “saved parking on” and “remember location history” and noticed Maps doesn’t always pick up on my parking spot or location. By far the timeline is my favorite feature. Someone accused me of lying about how often I go to this particular running trail. I told them I go daily and have been since June 2021 and since my location is on and has been since turning it on in November 2020 I showed them that I indeed have gone to this trail everyday since June 2021 and also show them I’m not lying about the amount of time I run and the miles I run
Thanks a lot. I think Google Maps is the best product of Google. I use it on a daily base.
Omg! The parking spot save location is so cool! Why did I not knew this before 🤩🤩 Really good tutorial👏🏻

The 'public transit' option is beyond fantastic in Tokyo. It even tells you which car to get on for the fastest exit.
I thought I knew Google Maps quite well, but turns out I didn't. My favourites are:
1. Restoring changes to route 8:55
2. Checking typical traffic on different days/times 9:40

Restoring changes to route 8:55 - Thanks for pointing this out Sir Gregory. It's always frustrated me!

you can also know the altitude like mountain by selecting terrain layer. and i hope google also integrates weather into google map.

Yes, this wasn't as helpful for me using a macbook pro. :/

The time travel one is really cool. The one where you can view previous routes taken is scary - phons are literally tracking everything we say and do.

Google maps diverted me off the highway today and sent me down some horrible roads - is there any way I can stop the app from doing that?

I have all my apps (even on my PC) set to 'dark mode' all the time. I agree that it helps make things more readable in all light conditions.
