How Google Maps Can Help You When You're Not in the Car

If you're travelling a route for the first time, you can preview the route in this mode. You can advance step by step and see a close up map of each turn on the route before you leave. This can help you get familiar with any difficult turns or landmarks along the way. When you get to your destination, you might want to remember where you parked. If you double click or double tap on the blue dot at any time,you can set your current location as your parking location. That can be helpful in huge parking lots or in areas that all look same.
