Get the most out of Google Maps with the help of these pointers.

The ins and outs of public transport



Google Transit is another budding feature of Google Maps, allowing you to see public transport details for a given city. Coverage isn't always extensive — in Australia only Perth and Adelaide have the Transit feature — and even in supported cities the amount of information varies. However, provided you're in a supported city simply click the More button in the top left corner, tick the Transit feature, and a new layer will appear on the map with train, ferry, bus and tram public transport information where available. For some cities the information even extends to individual bus and train routes and timetables for each route.
