Google Maps for Android now enables adding waypoints to your journey
The next time you hit a new city, you can plot a route that runs through several of its sights
In a typical day about town, it’s most likely you’ll be making more than one pitstop from the time you leave home until you return. This is especially true when visiting a new city, where you’d want to plan an itinerary that includes several stops along the way.
With Google Maps for Android, you’ll now be able to add multiple points between your start and destination points. To do so, start the app and tap the options button at the top right (the three vertical dots.) Use the Add stop function from here--go ahead and add as many stop you need, and the app will plot a route between them whether you’re walking, driving or using public transit.
Aso, this updated feature doesn’t appear to be tied into a new version of the app--it is being implemented on the Google servers itself, so you won’t need to update the app. Either way, it’s a good idea to use the latest version of the Google Maps app.
The feature is being rolled out gradually--expect to see it on your phone soon.
