Google Maps is a mainstay of digital community navigation. So no wonder if this application is closely used in everyday life. However, there may be some features that you do not know yet.

There are 8 recommended features or function favorites from Google that you can take advantage of:

1. Create and share a list of your favorite places

Store all your favorite restaurants, bars, boutiques and places in different locations, using the latest 'list' feature. For example, share the list of 'Best Sushi in Jakarta' or 'Most romantic restaurant' with your friends and they will be able to find directions to where you suggest easily.

2.  Adjust the picking location appropriately through the application

4. Get real-time information about crowded places on Search & Maps

Google knows that not everyone likes crowds. So you can see on Google Maps to find out the most crowded hours to avoid crowding during peak hours. This is useful when for example, you want to know when your favorite restaurant is not crowded so you do not have long line up.
