You may want to let people know that Immersive viewer only works in certain cities. Only list I could find: lAmsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tokyo and Venice.
Great video. How about a tutorial on desktop use of Google Maps? Like creating a trip with multiple stops and being able to share the trip with certain contacts.
You have given the best explanations and demonstrated very nicely. I had no idea of these features. Thank you very much. Learnt a lot. Please keep up with more info and videos
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.
I didn't know this so thank you for posting this. This is why I like to watch you because, as a google girly, I love to get the most out of my google. Keep it up.
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!
Hi, I just tried immersive view in the evening, and the lighting changes to twilight, but also it shows the night sky with the moon in the correct place and the right phase showing the new moon. Thanks for letting us know about this. Works fine on pixel 6a.
LOVED this video! There were a few of those that I didn't know existed. My Samsung Galaxy s21 doesn't have some of these features and the app has been updated. So I'm hoping they roll in soon.
When you download a map and plan a trip with several intermediate stops and you just passed by one it warns you about to continue to the next stop or go to the one just passed by. It does not react to my selecting Conitnue to the next stop. Thank you for yor valuable tips.
I find if I search out a route and view the directions ahead of time, it remains in my device and can be used for the journey. No need to download the map for offline use taking up storage.
Thanks for this video very helpful very useful for future trips as well. I was wondering if you know of a good way to use Google Maps to locate a good bike trail or walking trail in an area that I would go visit? Thank you
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
Do you have a video on saving a navigational map (with several destinations) to use for later? I've googled this but can't find a current one - when I find a video the icon they say to click is not there so I'm guessing there's a newer way to do it. Thank you.
Thanks for the info.. Had couple of questions... How do we download the trip history post our travel. Also before travel how can we search for alternate routes available.
Is there an option 'Take Only Legal Routes' or does GMaps assume you are in an authorized vehicle? If you show the police officer the Google route, will you not get a ticket?
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
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.
Im sure this was mentioned but one thing I've just found out was that in street view you can see older snapshots of the street view which used to not be a thing.
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).😕
I just got a new Samsung tablet. Downloaded maps. I need to add multiple stops (up to 10) to my route but all of the instructions are to either click on the 3 dots or the directions button on the bottom left. There is no 3 dots and no directions on the bottom left. Can you help?
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.
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?
Recently google maps has changed one one the festures where you add a stop and then it doesnt show you the entire from stop A to B. It got somewhat weird. I hope google fixes it and makes it easier to use the stops.
Question -- how to remove from the map restaurants, hotels, etc so that only the streets are shown? Too much distracting "busy" 😁 especially for download
Hi I have Question, my google maps not working once my phone screen off, I always wake up my screen during driving, its happen since I change to new phone. Any setting need to be done?
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
10 years ago, the Google Maps was better now . If you were doing a long journey, the screen was switching off until getting close to the next junction .
I don’t want Google maps telling me about a fuel efficient way. This is nothing new. It’s been there for a long time. I want it to tell me the best way to go given what I want. I’d also love it allow me to avoid dirt roads (even Waze does this)!
The problem with finding stations is whether they are private or not. The Charging industry needs to be better at providing this information. Also better fast or slow chargers.
Could you please ask Google management to share revenue with Google Local Guides who contribute photos, reviews, videos, ratings, and suggestions that enable people across the world reach their destination without hassle? Google currently shares revenue with RUclips contributors but not with Local Guides. As a Google Local Guide, I know that it takes time and money to travel to the place, take photos, take videos, park the car in parking lot, pay parking fees, pay entrance ticket at some places, then equipment cost, commuting, paying for eating while trying various food, etc. In return, Google teases the Google Local Guides by gifting a badge, which is of course nice. However, life needs money for sustenance. So Google, please be nice to Google Local Guides just like you are generous to RUclips contributors.
Why don't I have immersive views on Google Maps? "Immersive View isn't universally available, so you'll need to find a city that actually supports the feature before you can continue."
Tap on your profile in the top right and select "offline maps". There you should have downloaded maps, recommended maps, and the ability to select your own map based on your location. If you want to download from a search, search for the city first then swipe up from the card on the bottom. Doing so should reveal a three-dot menu icon in the top right. Tap that and select "download offline map".
One can clearly see the left wing bias of Google from these features. Most of which will not be helpful to many. But there were a few and understanding them was well worth the time to watch. Thanks.

Google Maps also has a new “pub crawl” route option to find the nearest bars, if you fail the breathalyzer test.

What version of Google maps is it? None of these work on mine in Australia.
Only works in certian cities. to see it work try the route, walking from Free trade warf London to Rotherhithe beach london.
