If at this point people are still asking you for directions, send them this video and let’s not talk about it again. In this one, I break down 10 Google Maps tips that genuinely change how you use it day to day—on Android or iPhone. I start with a simple thing most people miss: when you search “gas station,” Maps often shows what it thinks is “relevant,” not what’s actually closest. I show you how to sort by distance (yes, it resets every time… annoying, but now you know). Then I show how to set your vehicle type so Maps adapts—especially if you drive electric, so you get charging stations instead of gas pumps. After that, I go into the stuff that saves you headaches on the road: enabling Bluetooth beacons so GPS keeps working in certain tunnels, and setting route options once so you automatically avoid tolls, highways, or ferries. I also show how to control Spotify/YouTube Music directly inside Maps so you don’t bounce between apps while driving. And because privacy matters, I walk you through Location History: disabling it completely or setting auto-delete (3, 18, or 36 months) so your movements don’t pile up forever. Finally, I cover practical extras like adding multiple stops, sharing your trip live, customizing your driving avatar, and checking air quality + local weather right inside Maps.
