Where Google Maps fits
Use it to compare routes or save places before traveling to an unfamiliar area.
Check before you choose
Download any needed offline maps in advance and check local route information before departure.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Match the app to your trip, delivery or account task. Ride services depend on local coverage, rail tools on supported routes, and government account features on identity checks. Keep travel documents available offline and review the permissions each app needs.
