To add multiple stops to Google Maps, follow these steps on your Android device:

1. Open the Google Maps app on your phone or tablet.
2. Search for your destination by typing its name in the search bar or by tapping on the map to select a location.
3. Once you’ve found your destination, tap on it to bring up the information card.
4. In the bottom left corner of the screen, tap on the “Directions” button.
5. This will open up the directions screen, where you’ll see the starting point and destination fields.
6. In the top right corner of the screen, tap on the “More” button (represented by three vertical dots).
7. From the options that appear, select “Add stop”.
8. You can now enter the address or name of the additional stop you want to add. You can add up to 9 stops in total.
9. After entering the information for the first stop, tap on the “Done” button to save it.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 for each additional stop you want to add.

By adding multiple stops, you can plan your route with multiple destinations, making it easier to navigate and reach your desired locations efficiently. This feature is particularly useful for road trips, sightseeing, or running errands with multiple stops along the way.

– You can rearrange the order of the stops by tapping and holding on the three horizontal lines next to each stop, then dragging it to the desired position.
– To remove a stop, simply tap on the “X” button next to it.
– You can also add notes or labels to each stop by tapping on the stop and then selecting the “Add label” option.
– Google Maps will automatically update the directions and estimated arrival times based on the stops you’ve added.

Adding multiple stops to Google Maps can help you save time, stay organized, and make your journey more efficient. Whether you’re planning a road trip or simply need to make multiple stops along your route, this feature is a handy tool to have at your disposal.
