Plan a route with every stop in the right order — then look down the street before you ever drive it. GPS Maps turns a list of places into one efficient trip. Drop in your stops, let the planner reorder them, and follow spoken turn-by-turn directions from one to the next. Each stop checks itself off as you arrive, so you never touch the phone while you're driving. PLAN A TRIP WITH MULTIPLE STOPS • Add stops from search, straight off the map, or from your saved places • Tap Optimize and the app reorders them into the shortest trip • Drag any stop to override the order yourself • Distance and time for every leg and for the whole trip • Stops check off automatically when you arrive • Finished trips are kept in your history SEE THE STREET BEFORE YOU GO • Real ground-level photos taken along your route • Full 360° panoramas — drag to look around as if you were standing there • Preview a whole route photo by photo before you commit to it • Press and hold anywhere on the map to look around that spot • Coverage is community-contributed, so it is richest in cities and thinner on rural roads TURN-BY-TURN DIRECTIONS • Spoken guidance before every turn, twice: early, then right at the turn • Automatic rerouting when you leave the route • Car, motorbike and walking modes • Live trip progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Distances in kilometers or miles FIND PLACES WORTH THE DETOUR • Nearby landmarks with photos and background, drawn from open encyclopedia data • One-tap categories: restaurants, cafés, gas, parking, hotels, pharmacies, ATMs, hospitals and more • Search by voice — in any of the 17 languages the app speaks • Save a place now, add it to a trip later THE MAP ITSELF • Standard, satellite, hybrid and 3D views • Live traffic layer • 3D buildings • Map rotates with your heading SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), French, Arabic, Bengali, Russian, German, Japanese, Turkish, Korean, Indonesian and Vietnamese — interface, spoken directions and voice search.
