Mobile Google Map Trick

Mobile Google Map Trick


Offline Google Maps
   What this lets you do is select a large area in Google Maps that will be downloaded and stored on your phone.The most obvious use of this is to download an area a few miles around where you live,which you would presumably have to access frequently.This way, instead of having to download the map as you go while driving and using up data,you can just download a whole region at once while you're on WiFi.
This has two benefits, one, it will save you cellular data, and two, it will makes Google Maps faster, since you don't have to wait for it to download anything every time, it's already all there.Also, it will automatically update the offline map on WiFi, so you're covered there.It doesn't take up too much space either.The largest area you can download seems to be around 2 Gigabytes worth, but that will cover a huge part of your state, or even country maybe.

Hidden Android Features & Tips

Different tips, tricks, and features in Android

Most of these should work with version 6 and later, but I'll tell you if thats not the case.So anyway, without further a due, let's jump right in.

 1. Hidden developer options menu
     Which isn't too much of a secret, but I definitely can't leave it out.And this menu has all sorts of cool advanced settings not usually accessible, which we can get to in a bit.To access the menu, 

  • Go to Phone Settings
  • Go to About Phone then scroll down to where it shows Build Number.

  • Then just keep tapping on the Build Number and it will start counting down until it says You Are Now a Developer .
  • After that, now when you go to the Settings app, there will be a new menu under System called Developer Options.In here you will find all sorts of settings, some of which are absolutely useless to the average user, and others that aren't. 


 2.The animation scale. 
     If you scroll down in the developer options, you'll see, 

  • Well really three options control Animation Scale which controls how fast or slow the animations of the operating system are played.

What this means for example, is when opening an app, closing an app, transitioning through menus, all of that will be played faster or slower.This makes the phone feel much more snappy, since everything appears to respond faster.

  • You can also turn off animations altogether, so there no delay.However sometimes with animations off, certain apps can start to misbehave, so just be aware of that.If for some reason you wanted, you could make animations slower, but be careful when setting it to 10x, because it will take forever to disable it again, since you have to wait really long.
