Search for locations
Once you access the maps by simply clicking on the icon for the application, you will be taken to its interface. Once that pop up, all you have to do is click the search field which will allow you to search for any location.
Where you are physically located while you are using the application will be pointed out by a pin on the map.
However, in order to get directions to the location that you were searching for, all you have to do is tap the arrow next to the location information in order to get directions to that place.

Tracker
In order for the phone to work as a tracker and give you constant updates of your location, you first need to go on and turn on the tracking mode. This can be done by tapping the small arrow which is located on the lower left side of your phone’s screen.
A blue indicator will pop up and show you just where you are. It will also move every time you physically move, making it rather accurate.

You can set routes to places by first going into the directions and entering a start and end location. If there is any pre-entered location in your phone, it will come up after you click the contacts icon.
Next you need to go on and click the route option. From here on you can select the car, the bus or the man, in order to get specific directions based on your mode of transport that you have chosen to take for your trip.
