Find your car, check gas prices and more.
Anyone who drives a car has, from time to time, parked it somewhere, only to forget where. Thankfully, Google Maps can help you to avoid mislaying your motor by allowing you to temporarily save its location, so you can be directed back to it later.
If you're able to find your way back to your car without needing directions you can delete this saved location marker by tapping on it and selecting More info > Clear, to delete it.If you want to avoid Google Maps burning through your phone’s data – or if you’re traveling abroad and don’t want to pay super-high data-roaming fees – there is a way to use the service offline.
This feature is currently limited to the US, and not every gas station will post its prices; however this tool can give you some peace of mind that you're paying among the lowest available prices for fuel.This is the tool on this list we use the most, because it’s so useful for helping to plan trips that might see us traveling home late in the evening.
As useful as this tool is, however, we’ll warn you to take its advice with a pinch of salt. While Google Maps is generally very accurate, its public transport results can have errors – we’ve been caught out by it not warning us about last-minute service disruptions for example. On the one hand, this tool is pretty neat. You can use your Google Maps Timeline to remember spots you visited on holiday, or to remind you of the name of a restaurant you ate at recently. However, if you had no clue that the app could track you you might be a little sketched out.
