Saving routes in Google Maps is very easy with the My Maps function. We'll explain exactly how to do this..

Do you keep driving the same routes that you use Google Maps for? It pays to save routes. This works very easily with the My Maps function, which you can use to personalize your Google Maps map. You can then call up the route on your laptop or smartphone at any time - even without an active internet connection. However, you must note that routes can only be saved on the PC and not via the app, where they can, however, be viewed after saving.
