#SATELLITE GOOGLE MAPS DRIVER#

The driver is about to lose their mind, especially if presented with any significant delays. Imagine a loud, innocent passenger crunching on Cheeze-Its while driving to Phoenix with their very Type-A friend. For whatever reason, you have to place the pin on an unclaimed spot. That’s because our red pin is overshadowed by the Hospital label. Google MapsĪs you can see, “Add Label” is nowhere to be seen. Having trouble activating the “Add Label” and measurement tools? That’s because your pin placement is off! See corrections below. Henceforth, Google Maps will remember that address as “Beach.” Google Maps Now, click the option, “Add label,” and brand that spot. Just like the last feature, we begin with a pin. Let’s say someone found their new favorite surf break.

The next time you park, pull up the app and locate the blue icon, that’s you. A game of Marco Polo via spamming the alarm is just amateur hour, so let’s fix that once and for all. Okay, we’re back in the forest, perhaps in the parking lot of a colossal sports stadium, and by God, no one remembers where the car’s parked. Now swipe up, zoom out, and see the forest for the trees. Simply double-tap the map, and on that second tap, hold, and swipe down. It’s time to graduate from granny shots to jumpers. We’ll start with fixing a common novice blunder, using two fingers to zoom in and out of maps.
