But it is also possible to use the app if you need to make a stop on the way to your destination. You may know that you will need to stop for fuel or that you will be hungry if the journey is long.
You start by entering the final destination and can then search for what you need along the way. You can only insert a stop, but once you’ve taken your first break, you can always insert a new one.
Let Google show you where you can fill up
1. Find
Start Google Maps on your mobile and enter your destination in the search field. When you find the right one, click on the car icon in the lower right. You see your route on the map. Press the arrow icon at the bottom right to start the navigation.
2. Look for a break
Click on the magnifying glass. You can find your stop by selecting Gas station, Restaurants, Grocery stores or Cafes. You can also search for something specific with Search along the way.
3. Select
If you have chosen for Google to search for you, you can now decide where you want to stay. For each stop, the length of the detour is shown in minutes. Click on the desired location, in this case a gas station, to select.
4. Go
click Add stops. Your route is modified and you are first guided to the rest stop. When you have reached there, the navigation aid takes you on to the final destination. You can then also enter a new stop if necessary.
