It also makes discovery of nearby things like places to visit or eat super easy. When travelling to a new city on vacation, you can look up places to see and then chalk up routes to visit them based on proximity from each other. These routes can be saved or shared. And finally, you can check for public transport availability to your destination. > > **Cons**: Sometimes Maps stops working in weak signal areas, or congested localities. Also, it does not seem to be able to differentiate between one side of the road and thecl other, very well. > > Overall, it's difficult to imagine life without Google Maps if you're driving, or travelling to a new destination. Great experience so far. ----- ### "GOOGLE MAPS REVIEW" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 13, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the voice navigation and the ability to use it with CarPlay. Also, that I can add additional stops along the way. > > **Cons**: Sometimes when adding the additional stop it will replace the original stop and navigate to the additional stop first. Would be better if I could easily switch this on car play for the right driving order with stops. Also when the wifi goes out in dead zones I am utterly lost. I wish it would preserve the next 3 steps on the map at least. > > I use google maps daily. IT def helps me get to where I am going. And I like that it has options for walking, car, bus, train or ride shares. ----- ### "Needs some minor improvements although good product of Google." — 3.0/5 > **Anuj** | *August 6, 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It really helps me with the directions notifications...and early analysis of the traffic,,Jamming,,and diversions...sometimes it gets hard to locate the shared location but its okay. Some improvements will make it better. > > **Cons**: Its optimization sometimes becomes hectic specially for someone who is not very known to it...(newbie) and sometimes the app automatically gets shut down while being on picture in picture mode not a big deal but disappointing. > > Needed some basic improvement...A easy to use Interface otherwise Its good. ----- ### "Free and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Flavio** | *March 11, 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Use Google Maps on my personal activities, think the accuracy on real time updates on journeys is quite good. It covers nearly everywhere with good updates on road changes, even in some places where mobile reception is not good, I can use it offline, which is great\! For a free tool, it's really good. > > **Cons**: Sometimes integration between web browser searches and app does not happen as expected, so I need to re-search in app the destination I am going to, which is a bit annoying specially if you're dealing with postcodes and numbers that sometimes are hard to remember, so have to paste and copy. ----- ### "Google Maps is an essential market research tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Hannah** | *January 11, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Google Maps CONSTANTLY for market research and data sourcing purposes. It is quite essential to my job, but also a personal favourite maps platform\! > > **Cons**: I dislike that the businesses functions on the map does not auto-update as the map location changes. For example, when you drag the map, it does not automatically search new businesses in that area. You have to manually adjust the search query. ----- Page: 1 / 75\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/104575/google-maps?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/104575/google-maps) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
