And to go even further than what’s in the video, I’m sharing bonus info, hidden settings, and pro tips that Google never highlights.

1️⃣ Google Maps uses AI… even when you don’t realize it

Most people think Maps just displays a simple map.
In reality, Google analyzes billions of anonymous data points, which allows it to predict:

traffic evolution in the next 30 minutes

waiting times at tourist attractions

potential delays on public transport

areas where roads are likely to close

→ That’s why Maps is sometimes more accurate than road signs.

2️⃣ The blue dot (your position)… gives you way more than your location

When you tap it, Maps also analyzes:

your real orientation (compass)

your movement (walking, cycling, driving)

your GPS accuracy

whether you’re indoors or outdoors

→ In short: it understands exactly how to help you depending on the context.

3️⃣ Offline maps work even in airplane mode

Many believe it only works if you have a minimum signal.
Wrong → If your map is downloaded, it works in tunnels, mountains, airplanes, deserts… everywhere.

Small hack:
➡️ If you also activate airplane mode, your GPS becomes even more stable because your phone stops trying to connect to a network.

4️⃣ Charging stations sometimes show hidden information

If you zoom in enough, some stations display:

the average waiting time

the number of actually functional chargers

availability hours

the exact connector type

Maps even cross-references user data to detect stations that are “often broken”.

5️⃣ You can see dangerous zones in real time

Most people don’t know this, but Maps also shows:

recent accidents

road closures

police zones

obstacles (debris, slippery roads)

roadworks with likely delays

→ Super useful to avoid completely blocked highways.

6️⃣ The “Explore” mode adapts to your lifestyle

If you often go to Italian restaurants, Maps will recommend more of them.
If you travel a lot, Maps will highlight hotels, transportation, airports, museums…

→ The app literally learns what your life looks like.

7️⃣ Saved places improve your recommendations

The more favorites you save:

the more Maps learns what you like

the smarter the routes it suggests

the more it filters suggestions automatically (price, ambience, distance)

You’re not personalizing Google Maps.
➡️ Google Maps personalizes itself for you.

🧭 Why are these 20 tips unknown?

Because 95% of people use Google Maps only to:

go from point A to point B

check an address

look up a restaurant

But in reality, it’s a tool for:

navigation

organization

travel

planning

time optimization

and even safety

→ A true toolbox that most users massively underuse.

If you want to become a real Google Maps expert, this video + this description = the ultimate combo.
You’ll save time, save money, avoid traffic jams, discover new spots, travel more peacefully…
And above all, you’ll use your smartphone like a pro.
