1. Go to Google & Type Address
Of course, the first step when going to use Google maps is to open the application from Google maps itself. Do this step when the internet network is turned on, and the network condition is stable. Because if the network was unstable at that time, the maps, which were supposed to provide directions, could even be misleading.
When you open the application, users just type in the address they want to go to. Type in full, so that the resulting map is also more accurate. If so, you will immediately see a map of the address you are looking for. But maybe what you see is just a box which for some people is confusing.
2. Change Satellite Settings
Because the first results that are shown are only a small box, and the address will certainly be confusing, so the user can adjust the image viewed from the satellite. This will certainly be very helpful, because if it is set in this setting, the map looks like the original image on the route to be traversed.
To change this setting, users can directly tap the menu above the top right compass. Usually using the king diamond logo, after which the user will be given several options to view the map from which point of view. User can set satellite and traffic in the options below.
3. Click Route And Start
Now when the satellite is set as mentioned earlier, the address will look like the original from the top. Augustbe still confused, but it will be easier than before using the default settings. After that the user can click the route at the bottom of the address, it will immediately see the road that must be passed to arrive at the address.
When the route has been opened, the user can select the route for the type of vehicle at the top. Because each vehicle used, the route that will be used is sometimes different, such as between cars and motorbikes. If you can immediately click start to show the next direction, done.
