Google Maps Tricks: Avoid Traffic, Navigate Offline & More!

• Check live traffic conditions before leaving home using the traffic layer; red indicates jams, green means clear roads.
• Use Incognito mode to prevent Google Maps from saving your search and route history to your account.
• Long-press on any location on the map to drop a pin, allowing you to easily share or save the exact spot.
• Download offline maps for areas with poor mobile network coverage to navigate without an internet connection.
