Google Maps works by representing the road network as a massive digital graph made up of intersections, road segments, and the connections between them.

When you enter a destination, the app evaluates countless possible routes and predicts the travel time for each using factors like distance, speed limits, current traffic conditions, road closures, accidents, and historical traffic data.

One technique that can make this process much faster is called bidirectional Dijkstra's algorithm. Rather than searching only from your current location, the algorithm searches simultaneously from both your starting point and your destination. When those two searches meet, the number of routes that need to be explored is dramatically reduced, allowing the system to find an efficient path much more quickly.

Google Maps relies on a combination of far more sophisticated routing algorithms and optimization techniques than this single method, but the core principle remains the same: minimize the search space so the best route can be found as efficiently as possible.

As road conditions change during your trip, the app continuously updates its calculations. If it detects a faster or more efficient route, it can automatically suggest or switch you to that new path.

Pretty amazing how much computation goes into every trip, isn't it?
