Finding a Location
In the search bar at the top, type in the name of the place you wish to find. For example, if you’re looking for a specific restaurant, enter its name and press enter. A marker will appear on the map, and an information card will pop up showing relevant details like the address, contact information, and often photos and reviews of the place.
Getting Directions
To get directions to your desired location, simply tap the "Directions" button on the information card. By default, Google Maps will use your current location as the starting point. If you need to start from a different location, tap "Enter starting point" and input your address or drop a pin on the map.
