It turns out, most journeys are more like point A to Z, and Lake Tahoe’s about twenty miles long. Select and then add some points to measure your journey from point A-B. “Measure distance” now becomes an option. To activate this function, first hold down on the map to drop a pin. It’s great that Google Maps can calculate distances on a road and all, but what if you’re hiking the Camino? How about Fourth of July boating on Lake Tahoe? Well, you can actually measure any distance on Earth over any surface using the measurement tool. Google MapsĬongrats! You’re now ready to navigate the Silk Road like Marco Polo. Now when you head back to the car, just hit the directions arrow icon, and “Saved parking” will be a destination option. Hit “Save parking.” When you see a “P” icon by the blue dot, you’re golden. (NOTE: Make sure to have the most recent Google Maps update for these tips to work). If you don’t see it, that means you have to turn “location” back on, which can be found in general settings. The next time you park, pull up the app and locate the blue icon, that’s you. A game of Marco Polo via spamming the alarm is just amateur hour, so let’s fix that once and for all. Okay, we’re back in the forest, perhaps in the parking lot of a colossal sports stadium, and by God, no one remembers where the car’s parked. Now swipe up, zoom out, and see the forest for the trees. Simply double-tap the map, and on that second tap, hold, and swipe down. It’s time to graduate from granny shots to jumpers. We’ll start with fixing a common novice blunder, using two fingers to zoom in and out of maps.
