As of now, there are hundreds of navigation apps available for Android. However, out of all those, it was Google Maps that stands out from the crowd.
The Google Maps app for Android helps you beat traffic with real-time ETAs, find nearby bus stops, railway stations, restaurants, and more.
Not many would know, but like web browsers, Google Maps for Android also has an ‘Incognito Mode’ option. The option lets you use Google Maps privately.
It’s a feature that doesn’t save the places you search for to your Google Account. When Incognito mode is enabled, the Maps on that device will not:
- Save your browsing or search history in your account, or send notifications.
- Update your Location History or shared location, if any.
- Use your activity to personalize Maps.
