Plan your next trip with Google Maps

After putting vacation plans to a halt for nearly two years, the excitement to travel again is highly apparent as tourists flock to popular destinations and restaurants get full once again. If you’re planning a long drive to visit usually crowded spots, here’s how Google Maps can help you plan your next trip.

Map out your route

Save on toll expenses

While expressways provide us with a much shorter travel time, toll prices can take a huge chunk of our travel expenses. If you wish to take an alternate route and steer clear of tolls completely, simply click on ‘Options’ in the directions page and activate ‘Avoid tolls’ under Route options. Other options include avoiding highways and ferries, as well as identifying wheelchair accessible routes. 

Find gas stations along the way 

When you need to make a pit stop, Google Maps allows you to search for nearby gas stations. While in ‘Drive’ mode, simply click on the magnifying glass icon or choose the ‘Search along route’ option and select ‘Gas stations’. You will have the option to add this as a stop in your route. This also works for other destinations you wish to make a stop at along the way.

Enjoy quick access with Widgets

If you’re an iOS user, set up your Google Maps widget to easily access frequent trips that are pinned in your Go Tab. To add a widget, first make sure you have the latest Google Maps app. Touch and hold a widget or an empty area on your home screen until your apps jiggle, then tap ‘Add button’ in the upper-left corner. Once you find the Google Maps app, tap it, swipe to select a widget, then tap ‘Add widget.’

Plan like a pro!

Plan as a group

If you and your family or friends are the type of travelers who want a full itinerary in their pockets, then ‘group lists’ in Google Maps is for you. It gives you the ability to create a vacation itinerary together by adding places to go and things to do as a group. To create a list, just search for a destination and tap the ‘Save’ button. This will allow you to either save the destination to an existing list or create a new one. You can turn on the option to allow others to edit the list and anyone with the link will be able to modify it. 

No data, no problem

If you are unsure whether your destination will have a proper signal or if you simply want to save on data, download the map of an area prior to hitting the road and it will be available offline. To do this, tap on your profile picture in Maps, tap Offline maps, then Select your own map. From here, adjust the map to cover the area you'd like to download and that will be available for you to reference on your adventures.

Use vacation time wisely

Outsmart traffic

During peak season, traffic to popular destinations can be unpredictable. To make sure you don’t get stuck in traffic for most of your drive, set the time you’d like to depart or arrive by to see how long it’ll take you to get to your destination. This is easily available in the ‘Directions’ tab of your preferred destination. You can also use voice commands to check your ETA or other information you need. Just say “OK Google” and ask away!

Make road trips more entertaining
If you do get stuck in traffic, liven up your drive and stream music from Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music and more on Android and iOS devices right from Google Maps. No more toggling between Maps and your music player! On your Google Maps app, tap your profile photo and select ‘Settings’. Go to ‘Navigation’, tap ‘Music playback controls’, then select your preferred music streaming app.

Find the best time to visit restaurants

Use the ‘Popular Times’ information to see when a restaurant is most crowded so you can know which places are likely to seat you immediately. See the menu, photos, and reviews to check out what the restaurant offers. 

UNIQLO launches its color collection this month of April

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO launches its color collection this month of April. The summer season is bright and vibrant, which means it’s the perfect time to bring out clothes with brilliant and lively colors. This summer season, UNIQLO brings a brighter, more energetic, and more optimistic feeling with its wide array of color palettes in its latest collection.

 

“Clothes are meant to be joyful and we encourage everyone to express their creativity when dressing up this summer. Our wide color palette means our customers can mix and match the pieces according to their personalities. This stays true to our philosophy of LifeWear, which espouses creating clothing that’s universal in design and comfort, and made for everyone, everywhere,” says Georgette Jalasco, UNIQLO Philippines’ Vice President, Marketing.

 

Below are some color styling tips that are perfect for summer:

 

 

Pick a color to complement your look 

If you’re going to the beaches of Palawan and Boracay, wear the Stretch Slim Fit Shorts (Php 990) in beige to mimic the beauty of the sandy beaches. Its sleek cut, design and fabric is perfect for a refined look while walking by the shoreline. 

 

Add color to your outfit with the U AIRism Cotton Crew Neck Oversized T-Shirt (Php 790) in purple. The shirt’s color complement the shorts. Its AIRism material allows you to keep cool and comfortable even under the sun.

 

Be inspired by the surroundings

Find an element of your destination and use it as a jumping point for your look. If you’re going hiking at the Masungi Georeserve this summer, you can be inspired by rock formations, the clear blue skies, or even flowers. 

 

The women’s Supima Cotton Crew Neck Short Sleeve T Shirt (Php 590) is an excellent choice, especially in pink, as the vibrant color can be seen in the flowers you’re sure to encounter. This shirt is made with Supima cotton, described as the world’s finest for its premium feel, for that elegant feel even in nature. You may also pair it with the Linen Cotton Shorts (Php 990) in blue for that cool and light feeling during this warm summer season.

 

Choose the color based on the weather

Light colors are suitable for summer because they reflect heat and keep bodies cool. Dining al fresco in the city is perfect for laughing the afternoon away with loved ones, enjoying refreshing drinks, and dog-watching, so choose colors to keep you feeling clean and comfortable.

 

Explore the dining destinations of Eastwood, Kapitolyo, Maginhawa, or Aguirre in BF Homes in the Mercerized Cotton Short Sleeve Mini Dress (Php 990) in green. The A-line cut give it both a casual feel and a stylish silhouette. It’s also a versatile dress that can be worn on its own or layered. 

 

When in doubt, wear light colors

White and yellow are always safe options if you just want to relax and keep cool. These are the best options if you want to lounge at any of the parks in Makati. The Ayala Triangle Gardens has benches, over a hundred trees, and space to unwind. Makati also has smaller parks around the central business district: the Washington Sycip Park is a quiet haven for soul-searching, the Legazpi Active Park has a jogging path, and the Jaime C. Velasquez Park features a children’s playground.

 

Breathe in the fresh air with the men’s Dry Pique Short Sleeve Polo Shirt (Php 990) in yellow. The yellow gives a light and breezy vibe, especially during hot days. Its dry function was added to further enhance the smooth and comfortable feel. This goes well with the Chino Shorts (Php 990), which come in a relaxed cut. The finely-brushed cotton twill fabric is also comfortable and soft to the touch. This ensemble is refreshing to the eyes.

 

Want to stand out? Wear a colored dress 

Those who like to express themselves can go for something vivid, like the Mercerized Cotton V Neck A Line Sleeveless Dress (Php 1,490). The pink is eye-catching and effortlessly stylish. This is best showcased in a vibrant location such as the Bonifacio Global City. 

The cosmopolitan hub is also home to five-star hotels and cozy homestays for that relaxing staycation. UNIQLO’s dress is versatile and can be worn as a casual garment while relaxing in a hotel’s luxurious bed.

 

The complete LifeWear Collection is available in UNIQLO Manila Global Flagship Store. For more updates, please visit UNIQLO Philippines’ website at uniqlo.com/ph and download the UNIQLO APP via Google Play Store or Apple Store.
