[Photo: Shutterstock]<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>[DigitalToday AI Reporter] On its 18th anniversary, Google Maps has moved well beyond basic directions. Fused with artificial intelligence, it\u2019s transformed into a full-fledged lifestyle platform and has become a must-have app for smartphone users worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>On the 4th (local time), tech outlet TechRadar reported that since launching mobile service in 2008, Google Maps has consistently updated its look and capabilities. From trip planning and vehicle-specific routing to real-time info sharing, the app now offers a wide range of conveniences. Recently, Google has rolled out more advanced features \u2014 like vehicle-type route optimization and lock-screen navigation that limits battery drain \u2014 reinforcing that Maps is more than a simple map service.<\/p>\n<p>Travel features have gotten a major boost. The Maps Lists feature lets users save places by category and add personal notes, so you can build a complete itinerary without hopping between apps. Worried about roaming charges? Maps lets you download offline maps to navigate and search without an internet connection. Keep in mind, though, that some countries \u2014 including South Korea \u2014 may restrict offline downloads due to national security policies.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers get thoughtful, practical tools, too. You can set your vehicle\u2019s fuel type \u2014 gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric \u2014 and Maps will suggest the most fuel-efficient routes or plan trips that include EV charging stops. On certain devices, such as the Google Pixel 10 series, Maps can continue turn-by-turn directions on the lock screen in grayscale, significantly cutting smartphone battery use.<\/p>\n<p>Maps also remembers and pins your parking spot automatically and delivers neighborhood essentials like 24-hour weather forecasts and air-quality updates. Use Timeline to revisit past trips or explore decades-old street scenes with Street View\u2019s historical imagery for a true time-and-place experience. These features are optional in settings, so users can strike their own balance between privacy and convenience.{vi17}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Maps evolves into a
