4 powerful Google Maps customizations hidden in your settings

I almost switched to another navigation app because Google Maps was starting to feel a little too basic for my daily drives. I use it to get around Ahmedabad, find new places, and dodge traffic when I’m running late.

Then I started exploring Google Maps settings instead of just entering an address and hitting Start.

I’d been overlooking quite a few ways to customize the app. From changing my car’s icon to adjusting vehicle preferences, these options made me rethink my plan to switch.

So, bye-bye, alternative apps. Google Maps has more than enough tricks to keep me around.
