How to view details of a POI while in navigation mode? Difficult, but possible.

I experienced that problem in the previous week.
I had set up a designer route going through many scenic locations.
That included a so-called pit stop for lunch also.

However, we expended a lot of time in one place. Traffic congestion added another hour to that.
In this way, a renewed search once again.

I narrowed down on 2-3 right spots. But then, the typical questions popped up.
When does the restaurant end the morning session?
What type of serving? Buffet, or a-la-carte?
What is there in the detailed reviews?

Somehow I managed to achieve that without coming out of the route settings through some intricate steps, following the “Contribute” shortcut.

But later-on, I discovered five more ways to accomplish that!
#1. A direct search in the mobile browser by entering the name of the POI.
#2. Loading the web version of Maps for achieving that.
#3. Adopting the “Maps-Go” for navigation and leaving the traditional app accessible for the research.
#4. It’s equally possible to load another copy of the application. However, I prefer not utilizing that.
#?. Finally, accessing the phone of the family member or friend stays the most convenient choice!

Hi @C_T ,

Quite interesting observation, thanks for having them shared! : ]

From what you have mentioned, to check out the possible locations for a quick pit stop for their working hour, type of food and such, when still being in route settings, would you meant by in driving mode?

Maps-Go is indeed quite interesting, as personally I do like to test it out sometimes on my Android device (with the additionally installed Navigation for Google Maps Go).
