hey guys I'm bill from gcflearnfree.org
and today I want to talk about the
Google Maps app if you have a smartphone
like an iPhone or an Android you can
download the free Google Maps app to get
turn-by-turn directions on your phone I
find this to be really convenient
whenever I'm going somewhere I've never
actually been before let's take a look
at how to get directions with the Google
Maps app when you open the Google Maps
app a map of your current location will
appear to get directions just tap this
icon Google Maps will automatically use
your current location as your starting
point next you'll need to choose your
destination now if you're going
someplace you've never been before you
can search for it
and here are my directions when you're
ready just tap this icon to start
navigating writing Google Mouse will
give you live spoken directions so you
don't have to look at your phone while
you're driving in 400 feet turn right
onto West Target Street turn right onto
West Target Street in 800 feet continue
on to Snow Avenue if you miss a turn or
go the wrong way
Google Maps will automatically update
and provide you with new directions head
north on south st. Mary's Street toward
Park M lane when you get close to your
destination
Google Maps will tell you which side of
the street gets on in 800 feet your
destination will be on the left your
destination is on the left okay so those
are just the basics of getting
directions with Google Maps on your
smartphone if you like the idea of
getting directions but just don't want
to use Google Maps there are a lot of
other options such as Apple Maps Bing
Maps and a whole lot more
just try searching on your phone's app
store for free GPS that's usually the
best way to find a tool like this again
I hope this video has been helpful and
the next time you're looking for
directions to someplace you've never
been we really hope you give something
like Google Maps a try
