You and your family have to go to attend the wedding of your dear one but the situation is you don’t have an exact location where to go or which way is the right to reach there on time. I think everyone has their own smartphones in their pockets. Use it and operate the application called ‘Google Map’ which is mainly for this purpose. All you have to do is just writing up the name of the place where the wedding is going on and it will show you the actual direction from the place where you are standing. So, no need to waste time asking someone where to go when you have smartphones in your hand.

Furthermore, asking people about the direction is an old method, operate Google Live view now. Google Map also assists the user to tell the area where you can meet the traffic so you can set your mind from where to go then. In fact, many new features it provides you as we clarified it in our previous article that Google Map is ready to play the role of Zomato. Now, one more technology is ready to use in the Google Map application for a long time because of its amazing features. You can learn something from the Live View feature introduced by the Google Map. Let me explain what actually “Live view” technology is-
