Google Maps Go is a Progressive Web App variation of the regular Google Maps application, designed to be lightweight. Users are required to have Chrome for this version. It offers similar features as the full app but takes up significantly less space on your device. Designed to perform smoothly on devices with limited memory and unreliable network connections, it offers real-time location, traffic updates, directions, and information on various transportation modes. Users can search for millions of places, access contact details, and addresses easily. The app allows users to plan routes with different transportation options such as two-wheelers, metro, buses, taxis, and ferries, get real-time traffic updates, explore new places, read customer reviews, view pictures of food, save favorite spots, and access detailed maps in over 200 countries, business information for over 100 million places, and public transport data for more than 20,000 cities. Additionally, it is available in over 70 languages.

How to use Google Maps on your phone?

Using Google Maps is a breeze – whether it is for your daily commute or to explore newer places on your short weekend trip with the family. If you have an Android phone, then Google Maps would be already pre-installed on your device. If you have an Apple or iOS device, simply go to Apple’s App Store and download the Google Maps app from there.

    It works fine, but you can't log out of your Google account like you can on the regular Maps app. You can kinda switch to incognito mode in the browser temporarily, but it switches back as soon as you do something else (like checking the traffic map). It's pretty basic and doesn't have many features, so not great for privacy.

    I am so frustrated with this situation. The navigation on my phone is not working properly at all. First, when I try to get directions from my current location to another place, the navigation arrow doesn't show up and it doesn't move towards the destination. Second, it often shows the wrong live location for me. So, whenever I need to book a service or use anything that requires navigation, it's always a mess. It's just been a complete disaster.

    So, like, this app is supposed to give me directions on the map, right? But, oh my goodness, it's always having trouble connecting to GPS! Like, seriously, I have to keep closing and reopening the app a bunch of times before it finally decides to cooperate. It's such a hassle! Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    So basically, this app is like those online maps, but it works a bit faster than the old Google maps. The only downside is that there's this annoying thing where you have a bar on the left side to type stuff in, and you can only remove it before you enter your directions. So, after you've entered your directions and want to see the map on the full screen, that bar just stays there, feeling kind of pointless and getting in the way.

    The app took forever to load, and to make things worse, you had to download another add-on called Navigation Go just to use the navigation feature. It would have been better if they combined everything into one app and made the file size smaller so that users wouldn't have to download two separate apps to make it all work.
