Offline maps can be saved for areas where the connection is unreliable.
Local listings provide opening hours, contact details, reviews, and directions for businesses and landmarks.
Google Maps is for commuters, travellers, and anyone who needs to find a place or plan a route. It is especially helpful for people who want a single app for both navigation and local information, and for travellers who want to prepare maps before a trip.
