From saving on gas to driving with kids, here's your ultimate road trip planner

"Easy Travel” is a 10-part series focusing on how to reduce bumps during vacations, anticipate roadblocks and be ready when things aren’t going your way. If you'd like to contribute to our future reporting and share your experience as a source, you can click here to fill out this quick form .

Ina Daly has spent most of her life on the road.

“My dad was a truck driver and that led me to becoming a truck driver,” she said. “What we do in a day, on a daily job would be like a long road trip to most people.”

With nearly 40 years of driving for freight transportation services provider XPO and numerous industry accolades under her belt, including grand champion at this year’s Arizona Truck Driving Championship , Daly is a pro. She’s also a mom and a grandmother who’s happy to share her experiences to make everyone’s road trips better.

“Some of the things I'm telling you are what we truckers tell our family members,” she said. “I've had a lot of accomplishments in my career and going to the National Truck Driving Championships (this month) is a reward, but the bigger reward is being able to share some things … that have the potential to save lives.”

What to do before a long drive

“Make sure that your vehicle’s road trip ready,” Daly said. ”Really pay close attention to your tires, your coolant, your fan belt.”

She notes tire dealers often offer free inspections to ensure tires are properly inflated and undamaged.

AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz advises getting the whole car serviced before hitting the road.

“If you're a car person and you can, do that yourself at home, by all means,” she said. Otherwise, she recommends getting the oil changed and battery and tires checked professionally. 

To save time and avoid stress, Diaz also suggests filling up on gas the night before leaving and making hotel reservations well in advance, noting that many hotels allow cancellations without penalty up until the day beforehand. 

What do you need before a road trip?

It’s always good to keep an emergency kit with supplies like first aid, a flashlight and extra batteries, and basic tools in the vehicle.

“You want to make sure that if you do have a tire issue, you have the proper tools and jacks in your vehicle to be able to change it,” Daly said. She said warning signals like reflective triangles can also warn other drivers to steer clear in the event of a breakdown.

For road trips, both she and Diaz recommend shelf-stable snacks like protein bars that won’t melt and plenty of water. “Don't think that a bottle or two for everybody is enough,” Daly said. “You've got to have, you know, five or six bottles for everyone.” 

Diaz also recommends wet wipes, blankets during the winter, and any time-sensitive medication or pet food that might be needed in the event of an extended delay.

“These things ideally wouldn't take up too much room in your trunk but they're just good to have in case of an emergency,” Diaz said. “Just think, ‘If I were stuck for a long time, what would keep me comfortable until I was able to (get) help?’”  

A printed map and a general sense of the route can also help in case there GPS hiccups or a phone dies.  AAA’s free TripTik planner can help travelers plot their trips in advance and find rest stops, lodging, food and gas along the way. And its free Gas Cost Calculator can help locate the cheapest average gas prices for drivers when it’s time to refuel.

What I should know before a road trip?

“Everything can be a distraction in the car – the radio, the kids, etc. But the phone is a big one,” Daly advised. “When you’re driving, that thing should not ever be in your hand.”

More than 3,500 people were killed on U.S. roads in 2021 because of distracted driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration . 

Daly also recommends watching out for distracted drivers.

“You can tell a distracted driver by their fluctuating speed,” she warned. “They're drifting in their lane. Their head is looking down instead of focusing on the road. You want to give those people a wide berth.”

How long will a road trip take?

Road trips always take longer than expected because of traffic, construction and other things that arise en route.

Diaz says to expect at least an hour longer than whatever the GPS predicts. Daly recommends leaving at least two hours early.

“You don't want that stressful drive,” Daly said. “You’re hurrying. That lends to bad driving behaviors like tailgating and speeding, which leads to accidents. Don’t put yourself in that situation.”

How many hours a day should you drive on a road trip?

“It just varies so much from person to person, how long they’re comfortable driving,” Diaz said. “We want to err on the side of safety. We want people to be safe on the roads and drive the speed limit and not rush it, but everybody's different.”

Switching out drivers can lighten the load, but no matter who is driving, Daly said, “If you're starting to feel a little, less attentive, maybe a little fatigued, it’s time to take a break.”

What time is best to drive?

“We always recommend, especially during the holidays, leave early in the morning,” Diaz said. “The later you leave in the day, the worse it's going to be because a lot of times during the week … you're going to mix with those commuters on the road.”

“Some people enjoy night driving,” she added. “Once you get to like 8 p.m., 9 p.m. traffic comes down a lot.” 

However, she noted drivers who leave in the evening should watch out for fatigue and plan to drive less than if they started fresh in the morning.

How do you take a good road trip with kids? 

When possible, Daly recommends having a designated passenger to help with kids so the driver can focus on the road.  

Another important thing is to keep seatbelts on the whole way.

“Kids have a tendency to take those off,” Daly said. “Make sure they stay buckled up. I've seen some horrible things out there.”

'I just want to see more of us': The importance of seeing people like you while traveling

What do kids need on a road trip?

Entertainment helps pass the time, but it doesn’t have to be digital. There are all sorts of screen-free road trip games . 

Diaz recommends printing a map or list of sites or cities for kids to watch for along the way.

“You know, yell it out or mark it on your sheet,” she said. “Have some crayons in the car with them so they're following along on the trip, and they feel like they're part of it.”

“Point out historical landmarks and scenery; enjoy nature,” Daly echoed. “That's one of the things that we truck drivers love about our jobs is we get to see the country and nature.”

Stop at points of interest every few hours or simply for everyone to stretch their legs.

And for those times when kids are on screens, make sure to pack car chargers.

What is the best way to save gas?

Don’t speed. 

“Fuel economy peaks at around 50 miles per hour on most cars, and then it drops off as the speeds increase,” Diaz said. “You think, ‘OK, if I just go 70, I'm going to get there faster, and it'll be better,’ but essentially, you're just wasting gas at that point." Fuel economy can be increased by as much as 15% by reducing highway speeds by 5 to 10 miles per hour, she said.

Don’t idle unnecessarily either, like at rest stops.

“Your car engine consumes about a quarter to a half a gallon of fuel per hour while it's idling,” she said. “But a warm engine only takes about 10 seconds’ worth of fuel to restart, so if it's safe to do so, just shut off your engine.”

Story continues below.

What happens if my tire blows out?

“When you blow a tire, kaboom, it freaks you out. Do not panic,” Daly said. “Don't slow down abruptly or brake hard or jerk the wheel because that will cause you to lose control and have an accident.”

“Just focus on steering,” she added. “Slow very gradually, off to the side of the road in a safe area, and you won’t have any issue from your blown tire.”

How do you drive around semitrucks?

“Be aware of our needs and limitations,” Daly said. “You know we’re big. We need a lot of space around us. We have big blind spots. … If you can’t see the truck driver’s face in the mirrors of the truck, the truck driver can’t see you.”

She advised against passing on the right. 

“If you have to pass quickly, don’t linger over there. We see people driving over there for the shade (and it) puts us in a very dangerous situation,” she said. “And don’t cut in front of us and then hit your breaks. People don’t like to follow a truck because they can’t see around us, so they pass us and then cut in front of us.”

“It takes away that safety cushion we leave in front of us,” she added. “When you see all that space in front of a truck, that's not for your convenience so that you can pass us and cut into it. That’s for our safety and yours.”

By the same token, she advised fellow drivers to leave plenty of space in front of their own vehicles, so they have enough room to stop quickly in an emergency. If another driver cuts into that space, she suggested, “Take a break. Slow down again. Recreate that space. Bite your tongue and think pure thoughts.”

That last tip may not be so easy.

MLB power rankings: See where the Reds rank after rough road trip

OK, we’re in.

With four seasons of at least 97 losses since 2018, the Kansas City Royals were placed on extended probation in USA TODAY Sports’ power rankings. A couple astute signings here, a little hot streak there? Nope, that wouldn’t be sufficient to convince the rankings cabal of their legitimacy.

But we’ve seen enough.

Nearly 50 games into the season, the Royals are 29-19. Their plus-55 run differential is better than the Braves and Brewers and Cubs, to name just a few. They’re playing .500 on the road, dominating at home.

And now the Royals slide up two spots to No. 8, their highest ranking since, surely, trucking the Mets with five runs in the 12 th inning of World Series Game 5 in 2015. (If any of you sickos actually track the weekly rankings, do let us know).

Sure, things can still go sideways. But with Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. producing like MVPs, Seth Lugo pitching like a Cy Young winner and a young lineup in full bloom, the Royals are in the high-rent district until further notice. They’ve earned that much.

Press Box Wag: Why Elly De La Cruz is unlikely to sign a long-term deal with the Reds

Williams: Will Cincinnati Reds attendance at Great American Ball Park nosedive amid skid?

A look at this week's rankings:

1. Los Angeles Dodgers (-)

• Walker Buehler rounding into form, with six shutout innings in just 78 pitches.

2. New York Yankees (+3)

• Pretty good year when "20-game winner Clarke Schmidt" seems like a decent possibility.

3. Philadelphia Phillies (+1)

• 9-3 against NL East palookas New York, Washington and Miami.

4. Baltimore Orioles (-2)

• With five leadoff homers, Gunnar Henderson nearly halfway to Brady Anderson's single-season record of 12.

5. Atlanta Braves (-2)

• Suddenly, they have a pair of three-game losing streaks this month.

6. Cleveland Guardians (-)

• Pitching-centric? Hey, they trail only the Yankees in runs scored among AL teams.

7. Milwaukee Brewers (-)

• 3-3 since Rhys Hoskins got hurt.

8. Kansas City Royals (+2)

• Seth Lugo has posted consecutive starts with at least 10 strikeouts.

9. Chicago Cubs (-1)

• Shota Imanaga threatening to force statisticians to carry ERA out to the thousandths.

10. Seattle Mariners (-1)

Sterling rotation gets stiff test with four games at Yankee Stadium.

11. Minnesota Twins (-)

• Perhaps the streakiest club in the majors – including 0-5 mark vs. first-place Cleveland.

12. San Diego Padres (+2)

• Hall of Famer Yu Darvish? Notches 200th career win between NPB, MLB.

13. Tampa Bay Rays (+2)

• At 25-23, are they finally above .500 for good?

14. Texas Rangers (-2)

• AL's best offense in championship season merely middle of the pack ... at least for now.

15. Detroit Tigers (+1)

• Is Javy Baez's nice weekend simply a tease?

16. Boston Red Sox (-3)

• Might find out who they are in nine-game stretch vs. Rays, Brewers, Orioles.

17. San Francisco Giants (+4)

• Luis Matos: 30 at-bats, 17 RBI.

18. Arizona Diamondbacks (-1)

• Corbin Carroll's .191 batting average is second-worst among qualified NL hitters.

19. Houston Astros (+5)

• "Don't let us get hot," they warned. (Narrator: You did, in fact, let them get hot).

20. New York Mets (-2)

Edwin Díaz has blown three straight leads, and now his closer role is "fluid."

21. Pittsburgh Pirates (+2)

• Paul Skenes kickstarts three wins in four games at Wrigley Field.

22. Cincinnati Reds (-3)

• After hot start, Spencer Steer in a 13-for-90, one-homer rut.

23. Washington Nationals (-3)

• Phillies sweep shows how far they have to go.

24. Toronto Blue Jays (-2)

• Looks increasingly like they've dug too big a hole .

25. St. Louis Cardinals (+1)

• Tyler O'Neill blasts a homer at Busch Stadium – in win for the other team.

26. Oakland Athletics (-1)

• Back to earth after losing last eight games of road trip.

27. Los Angeles Angels (-)

• Series win against Rangers is their first against a team with winning record.

28. Colorado Rockies (-)

• Drop to 5-22 at San Francisco since 2021.

29. Miami Marlins (-)

• Sixto Sanchez has a 19.80 first-inning ERA in five starts.

30. Chicago White Sox (-)

• Out-homered 8-1 at Yankee Stadium. Yeah, that tracks.

The Ultimate Road Trip to Fayetteville, West Virginia Guide

A re you planning any road trips? Consider adding this road trip to Fayetteville, West Virginia, to your itinerary. This charming town offers a plethora of outdoor adventures, shopping, dining, and historic landmarks that will make your trip unforgettable.

Nestled in the heart of the New River Gorge National Park, Fayetteville offers many exciting opportunities for adventure seekers. Whether you enjoy hiking, rock climbing, or zip lining, Fayetteville has something for everyone.

In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most popular things to do and see in Fayetteville, West Virginia .

New River Gorge National Park

Your road trip to Fayetteville should begin at West Virginia’s newest National Park and Preserve, the New  River Gorge . Learn about the region at Canyon Rim Visitors Center before hiking the boardwalk to the observation decks for unobstructed views and terrific photo ops. 

You’ll be in awe as you admire the New River Gorge Bridge, one of the world’s longest steel-arch bridges at 876 feet and 3,030 feet long. The path is wheelchair friendly.

Fun Fact: There are only 63 true National Parks, but the US National Park Service manages 423 territories covering over 85 million acres around the country. You can learn more about this breakdown on this informative list from the NPS .

Another way to see the New River Gorge Bridge is with a “panoramic three-hour adventure” with Bridge Walk , a guided bridge walking tour on the catwalk 25 feet below. The ultimate time to visit the New River Gorge is on the third Saturday in October for Bridge Day, one of West Virginia’s most exciting festivals.

If fishing or a fun float trip down the New River is on your agenda, Pro River Outfitters can organize a trip that includes food, drinks, and equipment. 

For more adventures in the Mountain State, check out this post, with 95 choices .

Hiking Long Point Trail

The  Long Point Trail  hike is a moderate 2.6-mile loop that is perfect for hikers of all skill levels. The trek offers scenic views of the New River Gorge from a privately owned property opened to the public. The sandy beach at the trailhead is a popular swimming hole, making it a great place to cool off after your hike.

More Fun and Adrenaline Rushes

Fayetteville is known for its adrenaline-rush adventures—mainly white water rafting. Book a guided rafting trip on the Upper and Lower New River (one of the oldest rivers in the world) and the nearby Gauley River (the most challenging rapids) from  Ace Adventure Resort  or Adventures on the Gorge (premier whitewater rafting resort in the country) from May to November. 

A second popular offering in the area is aerial adventures, designed to show you the thrills from the treetops looking down. Rappelling is yet another impressive outdoor activity in Fayetteville.

The city’s terrain makes mountain biking another thrilling adventure. If you don’t have your own bike, you can rent one from Arrowhead Bike Farm . You can take part in a bike clinic and have lunch while you are there. And, if rock climbing interests you, head to Beauty Mountain.

Adventures on the Gorge

Searching for a thrilling adventure? Adventures on the Gorge is a must-visit destination for thrill-seekers. Offering whitewater rafting, zip lining, and rock climbing, Adventures on the Gorge will push you out of your comfort zone and give you the ultimate adrenaline rush. You can even walk underneath the New River Gorge bridge in one of the latest adventures.

With experienced guides and state-of-the-art equipment, Adventures on the Gorge is deemed safe, fun, and accessible for all skill levels. The property has a multitude of spaces for eating, shopping, hearing live music and hanging out. I was a big fan of the well-appointed gift shops, which included S’mores-making kits and souvenir tees.

As with any gorgeous property like this, I prefer to hang in the pool area, and the one at Adventures on the Gorge (Canyon Falls Pool) is spectacular! You even have views of the New River Gorge Bridge from the pool, surrounded by a rhododendron forest.

Adventures on the Gorge is also your one-stop shop for lodging. Choose from cabins (hotel-style, loft, and rustic-many handicapped accessible), glamping, campsites, vacation homes, and RV sites. I stayed in a hotel-style cabin at Sunnysides.

The cabin was spacious with two comfortable queen beds, a deck with wooded views, a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, huge bathroom, and roll-in shower.

Did you notice the heated towel bar on the wall? That would be a great perk in the cooler months.

I might add that there was no lip on the door in the shower or to get outside on the deck, which my friends in wheelchairs are always curious about.

My accommodations at Adventures on the Gorge were hosted as part of a familiarization trip. As always, opinions and reviews are 100% mine and unbiased.

Shopping in Downtown Fayetteville

Downtown Fayetteville offers a unique shopping experience that you won’t find anywhere else. The beautiful architecture and stunning courthouse property will make this an exciting walking tour. From artisanal pottery to trendy clothing boutiques, the shops in Fayetteville are diverse and welcoming. Here are a few of my faves.

Lost Appalachia Trading Co.

I love the looks and great products in this Fayetteville shop. Things to watch for at Lost Appalachia are cute stickers, books, candles, apparel, and other unique finds from local artisans.

Thread is an eclectic clothing boutique on the corner of Maple Avenue. Inside are racks full of retro and vintage-looking clothing, sunglasses, jewelry, interesting items, and beautiful displays.

No stranger to the downtown Fayetteville shopping scene is Water Stone Outdoors . You’ll find quality outdoor apparel and products, as well as specializing in rock climbing gear and the best shoe selection possible.

Inside the Hobbit Hole is a gallery of mystery and intrigue. Vintage items squirreled away in nooks and crannies will pique your interest and test your window-shopping willpower. It’s insanely good!

A newer name to Fayetteville is Out of the Ashes , a cutesy shop on Maple Avenue. I loved the arsenal of West Virginia products (candles, purses, notecards), throws, handbags, clothing, and jewelry.

While you’re downtown, make sure to stop by the New River Antique Mall for a selection of vintage and antique finds.

Drinking Around Fayetteville

You’ll find a darling coffee shop in downtown Fayetteville:  Range Finder Coffee . This craft coffee shop serves specialty and ethically sourced coffee and espresso. They also have a small variety of locally-made baked goods. I found the shop to be so darned cute; it made me want to linger longer. 

Bridge Brew Works  is a local microbrewery that offers a wide range of craft beers. The brewery is located in a renovated school building. It features an outdoor patio where you can enjoy a cold beer while taking in the views of the New River Gorge. The brewery is open for tastings, and growler fills, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure.

Dining in Fayetteville, WV

Fayetteville offers many delicious dining options, from casual to upscale. You can find everything from farm-to-table cuisine to classic burgers and fries. Some of the most popular dining options in Fayetteville are Tudor’s, Cathedral Cafe, Secret Sandwich Society, and Pies & Pints.

Tudor’s Biscuit World

Breakfast is the most important meal. Luckily, Fayetteville has a Tudor’s Biscuit World , a West Virginia icon, with homemade biscuit sandwiches that melt in your mouth. The gang’s all here: Ron, Dottie, Duke, Mickey, Mary B—popular biscuit combinations, but the Peppi, with pepperoni and melted cheese, is my standing order.

Pies and Pints

Downtown Fayetteville is home to the original Pies and Pints , a pizza joint franchised around the country with plentiful tap beer options. The Steak and Mushroom pizza is scrumptious, but get this…you can split the pizza between two gourmet creations.

Pizza Skins and Pork & Pepper Nachos with a chipotle crema are two pleasing appetizers to start your dining experience off right.

Secret Sandwich Society

Tempting culinary bites await you in Fayetteville. Currently rebuilding from a fire, Secret Sandwich Society is known for top-notch gourmet sandwiches and salads. We sure hope they will rebuild in the eclectic fashion that delighted their devoted customers.

SSS’s Truman is my favorite sandwich (turkey, peach jam, blue cheese spread, and crispy onions), but the pimento cheese smothered fries will make your eyes roll back in your head. 

Cathedral Cafe

Cathedral Cafe  has been a hippie mainstay in Fayetteville for years and an exceptional eatery for paninis, quesadillas, and coffee drinks. However, the quiche and chicken salad with bacon has been my favorite for years. If you just need a snack, try the artichoke and spinach dip. Nom!

Save room for the mixed berry cobbler and bread pudding—both are absolutely delicious. 

Smokey’s on the Gorge

Smokey’s on the Gorge is a place for a special meal with one-of-a-kind scenery. Try the Smoked Gumbo Dip with crostini or the filet mignon tournedos for your main course. Yummy! West Virginia farm-raised trout is another recommended dinner selection at Smokey’s.

Historic Fayette Theater

The circa 1938  Historic Fayette Theater  is a restored movie theater and performing arts venue that offers live theater productions from local groups and often traveling shows throughout the year. It’s a great place to experience the arts and history of the town all in one place. Check the website for currently running shows. 

Additional Lodging Choices

You can find options as rugged or upscale as you want to be in this town. 

At Ace Adventure Resort, cabins, chalets, cottages, and log homes around the spring-fed mountain lake are trendy.

Hawks Nest State Park is only a few miles away, a picturesque destination with a sweeping vista of the New River, an onsite restaurant, a 31-room lodge, and a nerve-racking aerial tram ride that takes you to the ground level for jet boat rides.

Hawks Nest has undergone a major renovation, and I can’t wait to see it.

The Historic Morris Harvey Bed and Breakfast would be a romantic option for staying in Fayetteville, offering a gourmet breakfast, charming details, clawfoot tubs, free WiFi, and a fabulous home-cooked breakfast.

Lafayette Flats, boutique lodging in the heart of historic downtown Fayetteville, has me intrigued. The artwork and stylish decor are really exceptional.

A Bonus Find!

Just a hop, skip, and jump from Adventures on the Gorge is Swiftwater General Store (physical address is Lansing). This provision station features firewood bundles, fire starters, produce, groceries, prepared gourmet foods, beer, wine, ice, and souvenirs.

They also have a cute little eatery serving breakfast and lunch, including vegetarian items, breakfast burritos, WV hot dogs, and homemade soups. Grab & Go items are popular, too.

Sky rally in fourth for 83-74 victory vs. Wings, their first under new coach Teresa Weatherspoon

"[the biggest difference] was a desire to win,” sky coach teresa weatherspoon said. “we were hungry to get it done, and we bettered ourselves in the second half.”.

ARLINGTON, Texas — After falling apart in the closing minutes of their season-opening loss, the Sky flipped the script Saturday and overcame an eight-point deficit to beat those same Wings 83-74.

“[The biggest difference] was a desire to win,” coach Teresa Weatherspoon said. “We were hungry to get it done, and we bettered ourselves in the second half.”

Wings coach Latricia Trammell spoke all week about needing to find extra personnel for this game. After forward Natasha Howard fractured her foot in the opener Wednesday, the Wings had fewer than 10 players available before signing forward Monique Billings to a hardship contract.

“You want to play?” Trammell jokingly asked media members Friday.

It seemed like the Wings had all they needed to get another victory, but they hit a wall in the fourth quarter. The Sky outscored them 28-11. Arike Ogunbowale accounted for all but two of Dallas’ 11 points.

• Wings spoil Teresa Weatherspoon’s coaching debut, beating Sky 87-79 in opener

After going 2-for-8 from the free-throw line in the first game, Sky rookie Angel Reese vowed to make amends. Reese did, going 5-for-7 from the foul line, but she only shot 3-for-9 from the field. Her first field goal was a reverse layup in the fourth quarter. She sat for much of the second and third quarters after getting into foul trouble.

Reese had 11 points, nine rebounds and two assists. Diamond DeShields led the Sky with 16 points, playing 24 minutes, up from the 18 she logged Wednesday. Six Sky players scored in double figures.

Weatherspoon returned to her starting lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter after being forced into other rotations with Reese and Elizabeth Williams saddled with four fouls apiece. Marina Mabrey opened the quarter with a three-pointer to cut the Sky’s deficit to five.

“We knew we had to come out swinging to start the fourth,” DeShields said. “Anytime ‘Money’ Mabrey gets to knock one down, it makes the whole team feel good.”

Williams had a chance to tie the game by converting a three-point opportunity with just under seven minutes left. But she missed the free throw, which resulted in a three-point opportunity for Reese, who made the free throw to put the Sky up by two.

• Overwhelming sense of gratitude accompanied Diamond DeShields’ return to court with Sky

Ogunbowale lit up the Sky’s backcourt players, getting them to bite on her shot fake all night. She had a game-high 35 points. After a three-pointer cut the Wings’ deficit to three, Trammell signaled for the crowd to get louder.

“She’s a volume shooter,” DeShields said. “She’s going to get them up. We just tried to focus on showing hand and making sure every shot was contested. All you can do is guard it the best you can and make it as difficult as possible.

“We live with the outcome as long as we defend the right way.”

A block by Williams, her fifth, with less than a minute to play was the final blow, sending Wings fans to the exits. She had 12 points, 10 rebounds and five steals.

There are still major areas of concern for the Sky, starting with their 19 turnovers. Another area that needs attention is their rebounding. They gave up 20 points on second-chance opportunities.

“We’re getting to know one another,” Weatherspoon said. “They were doing exactly what was asked of them, maybe trying to share a little bit too much. I was comfortable with what they were trying to do, knowing that those are things we can correct.”

How-To Geek

Psa: you can temporarily share your google maps road trip, here's how.

Let friends or family see your location progress and ETA during a trip.

Using Google Maps to share your real-time location with others is a great feature, but it's understandable if you don't want to let someone see your every move 24/7. Did you know you could temporarily share your phone's location during a vacation road trip or other travel?

Apple's location sharing and Find My are well-known at this point, and Google offers something similar on Google Maps that works with Android , iPhone , or iPad . However, during setup, most people choose to share their location indefinitely or select the option to share "until you turn this off," which isn't ideal.

Thankfully, Google Maps has a nifty feature where you can temporarily share navigation progress and location data with friends or family. Once the drive ends, location sharing ends. Here's how to use it:

Fire up Google Maps for an upcoming road trip or while heading to someone's house. Choose a destination, then hit "Start" navigation. While navigation is running, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap "Share Trip Progress" to get started.

You'll see a row of icons showing some of your most frequent contacts. Choose or search for the name you'd like to share your location with, tap the person's icon, and hit the blue "Share" button. The screen will briefly say, "Sharing your location until you arrive." Once you reach the destination, navigation and location sharing will both end.

Depending on the contact selected, that person will receive a text or email with a link to Google Maps, which will then start giving them complete location data of your road trip. Additionally, if you'd like to stop sharing or select the wrong person, swipe up from the Maps navigation screen and hit "Stop Sharing."

Note: While sharing, the person will see your route, destination, arrival time, and how you're traveling. They'll also see your device's current location, battery power, and if it's charging.

It's that easy! As long as you're actively using Google Maps navigation, you can quickly share your location with someone. Use this helpful feature for summer road trips, friends and family to see when you'll arrive during the holidays, and more.

Other Ways to Share Your Location on Google Maps

Not only is this feature great for privacy, but it's one of several useful Google Maps features to know about . Others include the option to share your location in a text message , zoom out with a single finger , or Android owners can share their location with iPhone users . Google Maps works great in tunnels now, and you can even use Maps to save and find a parked car .
