A necessary part of every road trip is the all-important gas stop. Sometimes, it’s hard to know when your next opportunity to fill up will be. You can easily add gas stations to your travel plans with Google Maps.

This is a great trick to know because you don’t have to exit navigation to do it. You can simply add a stop to your existing route, fill up your vehicle at the gas station, and then continue on the trip. You never have to stop Google Maps.

Tap "Add Stop."

That’s it! Google Maps will now take you to the gas station when you approach it. After your stop, you can continue on your route . You can add gas stations at any time just by using the search feature during your trip.
