Google Maps is an app that almost everyone has used at one time or the other. Users often use this app to find their way to their destinations. Google Maps is especially useful for people who are visiting a place for the first time. Once a user determines their location, Google provides the easiest and safest route to get there.
However, Google Maps sometimes deceives users by suggesting a route that leads to a dead end, requiring them to backtrack. However, this does not happen every time, it happens only occasionally. Additionally, Google Maps has many features that you may not know about. Therefore, here we are telling you about some special features of Google.
A boon for EV users
If you are an electric vehicle (EV) user, then Google Maps is no less than a boon for you. You can determine the location of nearby EV charging stations on Google Maps. Additionally, if you're on the go, you can search for EV charging stations near your destinations in advance, making it easy to charge whenever you need to.
