5 Most Useful Google Maps Settings | Tips & Tricks

Think I pretty much knew most of these aside from the public transportation one since I live pretty far from any sort of public transportation. I knew about the notification of when to leave, but it was kind of an automatic thing for a while where it would tell me when I needed to leave to get to work. I think it used to do this for some appointments where it would check your emails and some other apps to check for appointments automatically, but I haven't seen this in a long time and I wonder if it was removed due to privacy concerns. Pretty cool to know that there was a way to toggle this manually now though.

Here's a question and this seems more informative than anything Google is putting out: I used to be able to use "just drive" or "hey Google, let's drive" which would start the map without a destination and leave it running, following me across the map, without turning off the screen until I chose to. Where has this option gone? I cannot be the only one that likes to use maps this way...

i love the "avoid highways" feature when i'm not in a hurry...lets me see cool out-of-the-way places and sights. 😎

I feel like my Google reminder notifications are suppressed on IOS.

Groovy thanks!!
