Google Maps Go

Google Maps Go at a glance

Google Maps Go is a lighter way to use Google Maps for directions, local search, traffic information and public transport details. It suits Android users who want core map tools while keeping demands on storage, memory or network quality lower than the full Maps app. The app is published by Google LLC and belongs to the Travel & Local category.

What you can do

• Search for restaurants, shops, businesses and other nearby places.
• View addresses, phone numbers, reviews and photos for listed locations.
• Plan routes for driving, walking, two-wheelers, taxis, ferries and public transport where information is available.
• Check traffic conditions and use route previews before starting a trip.
• Look up bus, train and metro schedules in supported cities.
• Save places you visit often or want to find again later.

Coverage and requirements

The service provides map information across more than 200 countries and territories, with public transport data covering over 20,000 cities. It also includes details for more than 100 million places and supports over 70 languages. Google Maps Go requires Chrome to run as intended, so Chrome needs to be available on the device.
