About Google Maps
Real-time traffic updates, navigation & local suggestions for food and events.
Google Maps is a navigation app developed by Google LLC that helps Indian mobile users explore and navigate their surroundings with confidence. The app provides real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation for driving, walking, cycling, and public transport. It also suggests local places for food, events, and other activities, along with photos, reviews, and helpful information. Users can find the best routes, save time with automatic rerouting, and catch public transport with real-time updates. The app also allows users to plan trips and experiences by previewing areas with Street View and using Immersive View to see what landmarks and routes look like. Additionally, users can save favourite places, order delivery, and explore local places with user reviews and photos, all while staying connected with offline maps.
