Google Maps tips & tricks

Hi team,

How can we suggest a better route option on maps?

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Golden+Mile+5±+Dubai/The+Pointe,+Palm+Jumeirah±+Al+Mirziban±+The+Palm+Jumeirah±+Dubai/@25.1177873,55.1336584,19.54z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x3e5f6b30ff70a51d:0x17af34876f75ba2d!2m2!1d55.1461198!2d25.1078457!1m5!1m1!1s0x3e5f153b1ab96b39:0x29534cb39124ca86!2m2!1d55.1236629!2d25.1256041

We want people to go under the bridge as it takes very less time to reach to the location “The Pointe” . As highlighted below, user should take this route.

Hello @UmarKhanDxb

Maps always suggest the fastest route after taking cognisance of traffic conditions.

Nevertheless, you will get some clues in these two articles on what you wish to achieve.

The first article explains how we can suggest better navigation.

And this second article explains how we can modify any automatically suggested route by selecting some intermediate spots falling on our desired route.

Thanks mate. I followed the instructions and flagged the wrong turn. Hope Google will update the route.
