3. Quickly check ETAs for home and work.
Knowing exactly when to leave for home and work can be tricky. But with Maps, all you need to do is set up your Home and Work addresses to see real-time ETAs right from your homescreen. You can even customize the icons for each location: Select either place, click the three-dot menu and then “Change Icon.”
4. Let Maps plan around your schedule.
For a reliable and easy way to arrive on time every time, set your desired arrival time on Maps. This way when you’re trying to make a dinner reservation or get to an appointment, Maps will tell you when it’s time to hit the road — just tap “Directions” to go to Driving mode, select the three-dot menu and choose your arrival time.
5. Find the best spot for your taste and budget.
Ever find yourself struggling to pick a dining spot? Maps makes it easy to find one that fits your needs. Just search for restaurants or coffee shops, and tap the helpful buttons, including “Open Now,” “Accepts Reservations” and “Price” (you can even set your target price per person!) to quickly tailor your results.
6. Customize your ride.
Why not drive in style? You can trade the usual navigation arrow for a custom navatar. Just tap the navigation arrow when you start your trip to choose your ride. Whether you feel like a racecar driver for the day or a road-tripper in a pickup truck, it’s a fun way to make your journey a little more you.
