Tabs at the top of the screen direct you to specific items like Restaurants, Coffee, Hotels, Bars, Attractions, Parks, and Gas to help narrow your search. Whether it’s gassing up the car, grabbing dinner and a movie, finding a decent place to stay, or taking a walk in the park, Google Maps has you covered with local points of interest. Tap the Explore tab at the bottom left of the screen, you’ll see a list of nearby locations and activities.

When you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for - or you seek multiple things - the Explore tab is there for you. You can also search for items like “restaurants near work,” and get a list of suggestions that you can filter according to hours, type of cuisine, ratings, and whether or not you have eaten there before. You can follow the same procedure for your workplace and tap OK. You can now ask Google Maps to navigate to Home or Work instead of having to type in the address. From there, you can choose a new location on the map, choose a contact who has the new address (or your own contact card), change the Home icon, or get directions to that address from wherever you are currently located. To enter your home address for the first time or change your home address if you’ve moved, tap the three-dot icon on the Home line. Launch Google Maps, tap the Saved button in the icon bar at the bottom of the screen, and tap the Labeled tab at the top. Here’s how to do it in the newest version. If you’re using Google Maps to get around town from work or home, you’ll want to first save those important addresses in the app. Show 24 more items How to play your tunes How to book hotels, restaurant reservations, and more.
