Here are 10 tips — obvious and otherwise — to get to Google Maps Level 9000, a magical land where you’ll never get lost again.
These tips come straight from the horse’s mouth — Google itself. Complete with pretty pictures and even a few GIFs, this guide should help you truly master the art of Google Mappery. My favourite trick? Navigation preview, definitely. Now, if they could just spend less time writing guides, and more time putting Maps for iOS onto Android, the world would be complete. [Google]
