Google Maps for Beginners: Directions, Walking Routes and Sharing Where You Are

Google Maps can show you where you are, find a shop or surgery, and give step-by-step directions on foot, by bus or by car. This course takes you through the basics on a smartphone, and shows how to share your live location with someone you trust – and how to switch sharing off.
