Some things to keep in mind when using Google Maps.

The voice navigation feature on Google Maps is commonly used when traveling by car. However, always prioritize safety and avoid using Google Maps on your phone while driving.

Please check your connection and settings before your trip to ensure the most pleasant and safe experience.

In some cases, Google Maps may not have updated the status of newly opened or under-construction routes, leading to confusion. Therefore, it is still necessary to rely on real-world information on the road to choose the most suitable travel option.
