This Lifehacker guide bundles 10 Google Maps tips to tailor routing, save data, and boost privacy: double-check route options before leaving, use offline maps, set your vehicle type (including EV charging), link music services for in-app playback, view accessibility details, use watch-friendly directions and Live View for walking, hide your Maps profile, delete or auto-delete history, enable incognito mode, and save favorites in shareable lists—though features can vary by region and may not always be perfect.
