Google Maps Go

Google Maps Go for lighter navigation

Google Maps Go is a streamlined maps and local-search app for Android phones with limited memory or unreliable network connections. It provides location search, directions, traffic information and public transport details without the full weight of the standard Google Maps app. It suits users who mainly need dependable route planning and nearby-place information rather than a large, feature-heavy maps package.

Routes, traffic and public transport

Search routes by car, walking, two-wheeler, taxi, ferry, metro, bus or train, then compare the available options before setting out. Step-by-step directions and route previews help with planning, while live traffic information can show where delays are building. In supported cities, the app includes public transport schedules and route information.

Local places and useful details

Google Maps Go also works as a directory for nearby restaurants, shops, services and other businesses. Listings can include addresses, phone numbers, customer reviews and photos, making it easier to decide where to go before you travel. Places you use often can be saved for quicker access later.

What to know before using it

This is a lightweight Progressive Web App and requires Google Chrome to run. Map coverage extends across more than 200 countries and territories, with public transport information available in over 20,000 cities and business details for more than 100 million places. It supports more than 70 languages.
