Google Map is a simple but powerful tool. You can use it to locate places around you such as Cinemas, Restaurants, Hospitals, etc., find detailed directions from one part of town to another or from one city to another, as well as estimate distances and travel times.Here's how to find particular locations and discover places of interest.
STEP 1: Open the Google Maps app on your mobile device or visit https://maps.google.com on your internet browser. Once opened it should load the map of your current location. If not, you will be prompted to enable location service on your device, tap ok to enable and continue.
STEP 2: Type in the name of the location you wish to search for in the search bar, for instance Port-Harcourt. You can use Google's voice input to speak the name of the location instead of typing it. The map of the location you searched will be displayed.
STEP 3: You can then search for places within the location by using relevant keywords. e.g. cinema.
STEP 4: You can as well search for specific places with their names or something related, you will surely get some suggestions when you type or speak. E.g. Port Harcourt Please Park
STEP 5: Tap on "More Info" to see details of the place which include address, phone contacts, pictures, business hours and much more.
In the next blog post I will guide on how to navigate from one place to another with the help of Google Map.
