Great road maps!
Comments: Overall, I like Google Maps and recommends all of my friends to use since it is user-friendly.
Pros:
Google Maps is easy to use for finding my destination and provides road alerts. Also, I can add options not showing me the toll road. Google Maps provides me the most reliable road situations.

Previously, I could choose from the suggested routes, but recently, it seems like it no longer shows the heavy traffic route, possibly based on its own decision. I have used Google Maps everyday, and it was based on my recent experience.

Never get lost again
Comments: My overall experience is joy. I remember back in the day using a gps then when all of a sudden I lost it I started getting lost going places. Ever since finding Google maps it has changed my life, making traveling anywhere in the world so easy. I don't ever have to be worried getting lost again with Google maps.
Pros:
I love how easy it is to find where you need to go. Putting in the address and Google maps giving you the best route to your destination really decreases my stress level when trying to get somewhere. I have used Google maps for many years now, and even more so with my work now because I work from home. Being able to direct customers to an office using Google maps helps me and my patients!

The Best Maps!
Comments: As a person with motorcycle. This s very helpful and convenient to me.

I used it for 4 years now. Very helpful to me specially when I don't know the route to the place where I need to go.
Cons:
Some streets and dead end roads still not captured by them.
I can not live without
Comments: Apart from the lack of alert, I always used the app daily for years, as I was an app driver, it always "travelled" with me.

Platform with highly accurate and real-time data. Receive millions of updates daily
Cons:
Improve the application's level of alerts, especially in relation to its biggest competitor.
Google Maps Review
Pros:
I really like how Google Maps is optimal to use. For instance, it uses machine learning and data reviews to predict traffic patterns and accurate times of arrival. One of the things I really like is how it gets the times of public transportation accurately when the actual website doesn't.
Cons:
One of the things I don't really like about Google Maps is how hard it is to "start" a navigation route and how to "customize" it. Of course, it's not hard to press the start button, but once you press start, changing the voice for navigation to on and off is hard to navigate and it's often frustrating. However, this isn't a major complaint, it's just from my own experience.
Aditya's personal review about Google maps
Comments: It's good like anyone could use this app
Pros:
It's the best live maps ever made it give accurate locations the time and the distance
Cons:
Sometimes it give the wrong information about the traffic which could be a hassle for some people who is going to their job and get reliable to the time feature of the map
An essential tool which can be improved
Comments: Very useful in helping me find my way around. I rely a lot on the reviews and ratings of businesses. There are definitely improvements needed to make this app more user friendly.
Pros:
It's generally accurate and I love being able to see ratings and reviews of establishments. A great tool especially when on holiday!
Cons:
It doesn't always give me the most efficient route. It's also difficult to map a route between two destinations- I often have to type in an address instead of just tapping on a destination. Google Maps needs to improve their communication with businesses - I have often arrived at restaurants that either no longer exist or are closed even though Maps says they are open. It is also sometimes hard to tell from the map/route when the entrance side of an establishment is.
Google Maps is considered a new tool in marketing
Comments: I think it is a wonderful application. It helps me with many things, whether it is my work or the things of our daily life.
Pros:
Google Maps helped me know the locations of many of the target customers for my products and how to contact them, and then make a lot of sales through them and make money. In addition, I use it for other things, such as how to reach places that I do not know their exact location.
Cons:
The bad thing is that there are some errors in determining the location of the places and roads that lead to this place
Ideal and Simple
Pros:
Whether for personal or business reasons, using Google Maps has been very helpful for getting contact details and viewing data on different areas for me.
Cons:
It can take a little while to load at times. There is not much of a tutorial to it and it could be overwhelming for some users.
