How do I add a stop on Google Maps?

First, open the Google Maps mobile application on your smartphone.

Next, enter your first destination in the “Search Here” bar.

Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.

Under Options, select Add Stop.

Your first destination is identified as Stop “A”.

Under “Your Location” and “A”, enter your added stop next to “B”.

If you want to add more stops, you can continue through the alphabet by adding each new stop to the next letter.

What different categories of places can you stop at?

There are several categories to choose from when selecting your stops.

These include “gas stations”, “restaurants”, “cafes” and “grocery stores”.

These categories will appear once you are prompted to enter your Add Stop destination.

You can click on any of these for a list of nearby options relevant to the selected category.

However, you don’t have to select any of the categories.

Will you be able to choose which stop will make your journey the least time-consuming?

You can choose which stop extends your journey the least.

As you select from the categories, the list of nearby options that appears will show you how many miles you are from the selected location.

As soon as you click on the desired location, you will be shown how many minutes/hours it takes to get to the stop, depending on the mode of transport you have chosen.

This way you can see which stop is the fastest.

Even if you don’t select a category, you can always see the distance in miles to your desired destination on Google Maps if you use the search bar to find your stop.
