All these nifty features when most people would be happy if they 1. quit auto refreshing and blowing away the view and route, 2. show the damn street names, and 3. support Saved Routes.

we need to have google maps truck configurable to prevent low bridges, truck prohibited routes or weight limits

Another AMAZING video filled with so much information. Thank you!!

Bloody Marvelous Tasia. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[eaglessoc]

Great video. How about a tutorial on desktop use of Google Maps? Like creating a trip with multiple stops and being able to share the trip with certain contacts.

I find if I search out a route and view the directions ahead of time, it remains in my device and can be used for the journey. No need to download the map for offline use taking up storage.

I was going to go on holiday but I didn’t bother in the end, I just used immersive view instead

[dineshshah]

You have given the best explanations and demonstrated very nicely. I had no idea of these features. Thank you very much. Learnt a lot. Please keep up with more info and videos

Why don't I have immersive views on Google Maps?
"Immersive View isn't universally available, so you'll need to find a city that actually supports the feature before you can continue."

[princeg]

One of the best videos I've seen on this subject.

[brachiator]

Excellent tips. The wheelchair tip is useful with relatives. Many thanks.

Very nice and very good video for knowledge I like I am waiting for another video

[chrisjenkins]

Hi Tasia I love all your google videos and very useful - but I wonder if you could help me I have Android 10 ( I am going to update at the end of the year ) with the latest Google lens app and the latest Google maps app, in Google maps the lens icon isn't visible how do I add the Google lens icon in Google maps ? ( I have allowed the permissions in both apps to be able to allow it ) but it still isn't there, why

[wanderwithbree]

NO WAY?! We have an EV and when we left Tesla it was such a pain to get the right route for charging! THANK YOU!

[mikepanchaud]

Hi, I just tried immersive view in the evening, and the lighting changes to twilight, but also it shows the night sky with the moon in the correct place and the right phase showing the new moon. Thanks for letting us know about this. Works fine on pixel 6a.

You may want to let people know that Immersive viewer only works in certain cities. Only list I could find: lAmsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Florence, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tokyo and Venice.

I didn't know this so thank you for posting this. This is why I like to watch you because, as a google girly, I love to get the most out of my google. Keep it up.

Great presentation! My favorite newish feature (not sure when it implemented) is the "See more dates" option in Street View.

[jayjay-gepd]

Brilliant thank you, but do you know if you can avoid closed roads or delayed roads?
