Must follow these 5 tips
Always keep the app up to date
Sometimes the old version of the app may cause you big problems and due to this, issues may arise while using the app. The reason behind such incidents could also be using an old version of the app as the old version may contain bugs. Therefore, use the latest version of Google Maps, in order to get accurate information and new features.
Use Street View
If you’re going somewhere you’ve never been before, first look at photos of that area using the “Street View” feature. This will give you a better idea of the route. The company is continually working to improve this Street View feature.
Internet connection
Sometimes the internet connection also becomes very unstable while traveling. Due to poor connection, there may be confusion in the directions and you may fall victim to such an incident. So check the internet connection properly.
ask local people for help
Never rely solely on the map. If you are confused about the route, ask people nearby. Local information is sometimes more accurate than Google Maps. Information about whether the road ahead is broken or closed is not updated on the map.
use maps offline
If you are traveling to an area where internet speed is likely to be unstable, download the map of that location in advance. Then it will continue to work properly even without a network.
