Google Maps is the most popular navigation service in the world. Google Maps does more than just show us the way to places we don’t know. Google Maps has many features like traffic, travel time, nearby tourist spots and hotels. Even if you are a Google Maps user, Maps has many features that you may not know or use. We are looking at some features of Google Maps that not many people know about.

Know the toll rate on the journey

Knowing the toll rates along the route is very important when you are traveling by car. If you don’t have a balance on FASTTAG, it will help you to recharge and keep cash on hand. You need to turn on the option in Maps to know the toll plazas on the route you are traveling and how much toll you have to pay on the mattress. If you open Maps and go to Settings, you will see the Show Toll option, after turning it on, if you search for the route you need to travel, you will see the toll rate.

It will remind you where the vehicle is parked

If you park your vehicle and go shopping or to the cinema, it is a common thing for most of you to come back and get confused not knowing where you parked your car. But this will no longer be the case. If you tap on the blue icon on Google Maps and save the location where you park your vehicle, you can easily find that place.

Do you know if there is a place for parking?

The main problem faced when going out with a car is not getting a parking space. But from now on there is no need for this tension, we can know in advance whether there is a place to park the vehicle at the place we are going through Google Maps. After searching for the place to pay, expand the location and if there is a p icon, there is parking there.

Know the menu in restaurants

Another interesting option provided by Google Maps is the menu card for restaurants. This allows us to know what dishes are available in the restaurant we are planning to go to. Search restaurants for this, now select that restaurant option and then select menu or service option. Here you can see the entire menu. This option is not actively available everywhere in India.

Make a list of places to go

All of us are people who plan a lot of trips, and for various reasons we tend to put them off for another time. Google Maps has a great feature for such people. In this, we can save the trips we want to go. For this, open Google Maps and select the saved option. It will have a Want to Go option. You can save the places you want to go by selecting this option.
