For those who value meticulous planning, Google Maps offers an excellent feature that allows for efficient route organization. This feature is particularly useful when you’re preparing for a journey to a specific location. Here’s how to use it:
- Open the Google Maps app on your Android device and input your destination. Once you tap the Directions button, you’ll be taken to the directions screen.
- On this screen, you’ll notice a three-dot menu icon next to the starting location at the top. Tap on this icon to open a menu.
- In this menu, you’ll find an option labeled “Search along route.” Selecting this option will open a search box.
- This search box allows you to input any term to find a specific place along your route. This can be particularly useful for locating amenities such as restaurants or gas stations.
If you’re already navigating a route, this feature can still be accessed. Simply swipe up on the panel at the bottom of the navigation screen to find the “Search along route” option. This feature transforms the task of route planning into a simple, streamlined process, ensuring you’re always prepared for your journey.
