The voice-guided Google Maps’ navigation system has helped a lot of people to find their way around unfamiliar roads. A new update to the app adds several European countries, particularly their highway systems, so as to guide them as they make their way to their family homes, vacation spots, or wherever they’re going this holiday season.

So if you’re driving across France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the UK, you’ll be able to use Google Maps in its turn by turn navigation mode. It will tell you which lane you should stay in so you could be prepared to take the next exit or avoid which lanes will make you become stuck in traffic. If you’re nearing a junction or multiple exits, it will suggest which lane you should take. It will also offer you several alternative routes, especially during rush hours and the Christmas rush.

So how will you be able to activate the turn by turn Navigation option? First off, you have to enable your GPS so your smartphone can access your location. Then open the Google Maps application on your device and get the directions to a specific location. To use the turn by turn feature, just touch the Navigation icon and you get the voice-directed direction, which also includes the aforementioned lane guidance.

If you don’t have Google Maps on your phone yet, then you must be pretty confident about navigating your way through unfamiliar territory. But if you’re not, you can download the app from the Google Play Store.
