The application Google Maps is a most complete tool for our trips. It doesn't matter if we are looking for addresses, establishments or we want to know how is the traffic density on our route. However, it still has some shortcomings that Google should take into account. One of them is the impossibility of adding more than one stop on a route already planned. However, there is a small trick to solve this problem, although a computer is required to do so.
All you have to do is plan your route through Google Maps, but through the computer And, on this platform it is possible to create a route and add all kinds of intermediate stops without just focusing at gas stations, restaurants and other establishments where you can park.
To do this, simply create a route to use, setting an origin and destination. From here, Google Maps in its web version has a button + where you can add the mentioned stops. By clicking on the button and writing the name of the street or town, that stop is added. The nice thing about this feature is that the user can make it without a predetermined order, then dragging each stop to the desired position to set the final route.All this without an established maximum limit of stops
Although Google Maps does not allow you to share the route with several stops directly to the linked mobile, there is a much easier way to to do it: send it by email You just have to copy the web address, where you collect all the stops, paste it into the text of an email to use, and auto-send that email to yourself
In this way, from the mobile, it is possible to access the email and click on the link With this we can open the applicationGoogle Maps and display the same route designed on the computer on the screen. As expected, all stops are present, even though the app only shows the first one in the route description.
This little trick is useful for taking advantage of navigation Google Maps That is, be step-by-step guidance to the destination, but going through the different stops established. All this with traffic information, warnings and all the data available to this complete mapping tool.
For the moment, we will have to take advantage of this trick or advantage until Google decides to launch the possibility of adding several destinations to the route from the mobile. And it is that, for the moment, only a gas station, a restaurant or only a bar can be added as a stop through the application for smartphones A lack that may be due to technical issues, but that already has a solution, even if it is necessary to access a computer to plan the entire route.And you, will you use this little trick to plan your next vacation? Or would you rather search for a single destination at a time on Google Maps?
