Traveling becomes easier and more enjoyable when you know how to use Google Maps effectively. 
Before every trip, I download offline maps of the city I’m visiting — this helps me navigate even without internet access. I also create custom lists for restaurants, attractions, and local spots I want to explore. 
While traveling, I use the “Nearby” feature to discover hidden gems like local cafés and viewpoints that aren’t always in tourist guides.
My advice for every traveler: don’t just follow the main roads — explore, get curious, and share your discoveries with others on Google Maps.

Hi @basem2026
I removed 3 tags from your topic as they were not relevant to what you wrote.
Please note, using the right tags and categories on your topics makes it easier for other Local Guides to find what they’re looking for in the community.
All the best and thanks for sharing your tips.
Nice Tips. Offline maps are useful @basem2026

I am confused 
How can you explain it?
