How To Use The Search Here Feature On Google Maps, You Can Find The Nearest Mosque!

YOGYAKARTA - Google Maps has a feature that allows users to search for public places around you, such as restaurants, gas stations, schools, to places of worship such as mosques.

As a place of worship for Muslims, the mosque is the most vital place for someone who is traveling long distances. Usually, they will rest and worship at the mosque when they are outside the house.

However, what if you are traveling far and do not know the area you are passing, but have entered the prayer time, such as the midday, asr, or maghrib prayers. Of course, you need to find out the nearest mosque so you don't miss prayer times.
