One of Google's main tools, Maps, is a very useful application for anyone who wants to locate or find a place. But that's not the only use of Google Maps, which even works without internet, although many people don't know.
With Google Maps, you can look at the bus schedule, find your friends, see the price of fuel, discover restaurants and even see 3D images of a place.

Unknown Utilities of Google Maps
This list will show you some things Google Maps can do that you might not know about yet.
1. Remember where you parked your car
For those who drive and are late, the most common thing is to forget where they parked their car.
However, rest assured, with Maps it is possible to find your car, just save the location before leaving the car and, when you return, look through the Maps application on your cell phone.
2. use offline
When going on a long trip, where your internet will eventually stop working, this feature can be very useful. The feature allows you to save maps, keeping your destination tracked, but without updates of traffic conditions in real time.
To do this, simply activate the option Offline Maps.
3. Check fuel price
You know that frustration of finding a gas station that has cheaper gas just 5 minutes away than what you filled up? With Maps, you can avoid this kind of situation.
In the application, find the option that shows Bar, Restaurant, Hotel and Others. There will be the fuel option, which will show the value at the gas stations closest to you.

4. See bus/metro timetable
For those who are students and live by bus, this will probably be the most useful tip. You must search how to get from one place to another, then click on the bus icon, which will show you public transport options and, if available in your city, train/metro options.
The application will also show you the expected arrival time of the next bus and the departure time of the last one.
5. Register the places you go
Maps is capable of keeping track of the main places you visit. It registers the main markets, gyms, establishments and other places you go to.
Just activate the option to draw your timeline, and you'll be able to how many times, what day and what time you visited a certain place in the month.
