You have taken freely, picked a destination and booked a flight. Time for an adventure trip in an unknown place! How fun it sounds to go without a plan, sometimes it's useful to have an idea of which places you want to see. This way you get the most out of your trip. And that's where Google Maps comes around the corner. These tricks make your next vacation a lot easier:

1. Save your search

If you're looking for Google Maps for fun places you want to see during your trip, you can use an option that allows those places to be slaughtered for later. For example, you do not have to search for that nice shop or restaurant that you want to visit. If you're looking for a location with the Google app or Maps, see the map of that location at the top right of the map. When clicked on it, save the location and see on the map of the city you are visiting star when you are navigating the next time. They are also in a list of all your saved places. To do this, go to the menu at the top left and click Your Places. Useful!

2. Choose the perfect hotel

If you have preserved all the locations you want to see in advance, you can easily check which places in the city are going to be. On that basis, you can choose the hotel that is in the perfect location. Then you are sure that you do not have to make unnecessary distances to the places you want to see.

3. Customize your trip

An unknown feature on Google Maps is to create custom maps. You can use different icons and colors to highlight different places and add notes. These cards can then be shared with your travel partner. Especially when you make a long trip, which is a lot of planning, this option is very useful. Do not you have an internet connection? You can also navigate offline in your custom map. Note: On the iPhone, you must sign in with a Google Account to save addresses and download maps for offline use.

4. Check the times of public transport

You can also use Google Maps to check when buses, trains and trams depart and from which locations they go. Enter the place you want and click on the public transport icon.

5. Navigate in large buildings

Google Maps has recently recorded the maps of many stations, shops, museums and other buildings. Very useful if you are in a big building and do not want to waste time wasting time. Zoom in to a building for which a floor plan is available and select the bottom right on which floor you want to navigate.
