Google Maps Go

Maps and directions for lighter phones

Google Maps Go is a lighter version of Google’s mapping service for Android devices with limited memory or unreliable network connections. It helps you search for places, check addresses and phone numbers, view traffic conditions, and plan routes without using the full Google Maps app. It suits users who need everyday navigation and local search while keeping their app footprint smaller.

Routes, traffic and public transport

The app supports route planning by car, walking, bicycle, taxi, two-wheeler, ferry, metro, bus and train, depending on the information available in your area. Route previews let you check a journey before setting off, while traffic data can help you compare options and spot slower roads. In supported cities, you can also view public transport schedules and service information.

• Search for routes and nearby destinations
• Check live traffic information and traffic maps
• View transit details across more than 20,000 cities
• Use maps covering 200 countries and territories

Find useful local information

Google Maps Go can locate restaurants, shops, businesses and other nearby places. Listings may include customer reviews, photos, addresses and telephone numbers, giving you practical details before you visit. You can save places you return to often and find them again later. The service is available in more than 70 languages and includes satellite and terrain map views.

Google Maps Go requires Chrome to run as its lightweight web-based app. If Chrome is not available, Google Maps can instead be opened in a mobile browser.
