I’ve used Google Maps for a decade, but these 7 features still surprised me

Google Maps became one of those apps I opened automatically, whether it was to check traffic, find a café, navigate somewhere unfamiliar, or see how long a trip would take.

I knew the basics so well that I assumed I had already seen everything it could do.

However, over the past few months, I stumbled across several features that completely changed how I use Google Maps.

A few helped me save time, some reduced small everyday frustrations, and one or two made me wonder how I had missed them for so long.
