Google Maps Go

Lightweight maps and directions

Google Maps Go is a streamlined version of Google Maps for finding places, planning routes and checking travel conditions. It suits phones with limited memory, storage or less reliable network connections, while still covering everyday navigation needs.

Use it to search for addresses, businesses, restaurants and other nearby places. Results can include phone numbers, customer reviews, photos and location details, making it useful when you are choosing where to go or checking information before a visit.

Route planning and local transport

The app provides turn-by-turn directions and route previews for several ways of getting around. Depending on the location, route options can include driving, walking, two-wheelers, taxis, ferries and public transport.

• Check current traffic conditions and traffic maps.
• View public transport schedules for buses, trains and metro services where supported.
• Compare routes before leaving and review the path ahead.
• Save places you visit often so they are easier to find later.

Broad coverage with a smaller footprint

Google Maps Go offers map coverage across 200 countries and territories, with support for more than 70 languages. Public transport information is available in over 20,000 cities, while place and business listings cover more than 100 million locations. This edition relies on Chrome to provide its web-based experience.
