Google Maps on Android offers a handy trick for frequent travelers: the ability to pin your most common trips. Whether you’re heading to work, the gym, or your favorite coffee shop, pinning your destinations can streamline your navigation experience.
Here’s how to do it:
Table of Contents
Method 1: Search and Pin
- When searching for a specific destination, look for the Pin command at the bottom of the screen after you’ve tapped the button to bring up directions.
- Simply tap the Pin icon, and that trip will be saved for easy access later.
Method 2: From the Main Screen
- On the main Maps screen, tap the Go tab at the bottom.
- Explore the app’s suggested places based on your recent activity.
- If you see a trip you want to save, tap the pushpin icon alongside it to pin it.
Why It Matters
- Time-Saver: Pinned trips appear at the top of the app’s Go tab, making them readily accessible.
- Effortless Navigation: Starting a new navigation to a pinned destination is just one more tap away.
