Google Maps essentially uses two Graph algorithms — Dijkstra's algorithm and A* algorithm, to calculate the shortest distance from point A ( Source) to point B ( destination). A graph data structure is essentially a collection of nodes that are defined by edges and vertices.

The name of a place. For example, the name of the place where a Professor or Research Scholar exchange visitor will be participating in his/her program activity outside the United States.

Data processing: To create a detailed map of an area, Google Maps uses a complex process of data processing and analysis. This includes techniques like image recognition, machine learning, and geospatial data analysis to extract useful information from the raw data collected by satellites and street view cameras.

In the search bar, enter a destination or tap it on the map. Follow the on-screen instructions to help Maps find your location. Tip: Point your phone camera at buildings and signs across the street, instead of trees and people. Once Maps knows where you are, you'll get directions through the camera view on your screen.
