Review the available routes, considering all the details: distance, estimated travel time, route showcased on the map, step-by-step navigation directions, and alternative routes (if available).

Explore new places
Use a map to explore an unfamiliar neighborhood, city, or destination. It’s easy to discover nearby streets, landmarks, museums, and other locations and points of interest. Switch to the “Find a Place” tab, zoom in and out on the map, and you can explore many new things.
