In the search bar, enter a destination or tap it on the map. Follow the on-screen instructions to help Maps find your location. Tip: Point your phone camera at buildings and signs across the street, instead of trees and people. Once Maps knows where you are, you'll get directions through the camera view on your screen.

Search for a place on Google Maps At the top, tap the search box and enter an address, name of a place, or choose a category, like gas stations or groceries. Tip: After you find a place on the map, you can check directions to the place in a list, details about a place, or get directions with voice-guided navigation.
