> Google Maps is a cloud-based GIS software that allows businesses to create and manage maps, in addition to providing navigation services. It is used by businesses of all kinds, from restaurants to construction companies.

Google Maps allows organization to add markers that appear on their map, as well as pop-up balloons containing information about the marker's location. Users can also customize the appearance of these markers, so they match the brand or logo.

Businesses can create routes between multiple locations on their map with Google Maps. This feature helps them plan how they will get from one place to another and provides information about how long it will take to get there.

## Reviews

### "Still not getting lost" — 5.0/5

> **Luis** | *28 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Gemini is still very useful and easy to use. With it, you can have a personal assistant that sets your route. In fact, using Apple CarPlay with Gemini makes you hate Apple Maps. I have configured my home, work, and college locations, and I can easily set my route and add stops.
> 
> **Cons**: Still bugging sometimes. And makes your phone raise temperature very fast, but I still like it more than the others.
> 
> I like it, i switch between Apple Maps, Waze and Google Maps, but I prefer Google Maps over the others two

### "Universal app" — 5.0/5

> **Francisco** | *19 March 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Useful for everything, for moving from A to B, to see historical data from a place, to see the surrounding, etc
> 
> **Cons**: Almost nothing to say, everything is good and trending. Maybe the RT indicators on the GPS mode.
> 
> I followed the evolution of this universal app and each update is better than the other one. The 3d route is great\!

### "Google maps review" — 5.0/5

> **Megan** | *13 November 2025* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What i like the most about google maps is how easy it is to get to where im going if i don't know the way and it tells you if there is road work or a object in the road
> 
> **Cons**: I don't think i can say there is anything i least like about google maps i love it been using them for years

### "Helpful for quick navigation" — 5.0/5

> **Sara** | *10 January 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Synchronized with my Google business profile to allow for one click directions to the office
> 
> **Cons**: When updates are available, you they disrupt the ease of clicking the directions
> 
> Easy to find in the phone as the app is easily identified, directions are accurate and the fastest route is typically used.

### "Google Maps has room for improvement." — 4.0/5

> **Nicole** | *19 October 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that when someone sends me an address as a text message in the correct format it shows up as a hyperlink and I am sent directly to Google Maps when the link is tapped.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that I have to tap the back button multiple times if I decide to exit the navigation before I reach my destination. I am also frustrated by the fact that Google Maps does not reorder multiple stops to give you the fastest route.
> 
> My experience with Google Maps has been 80% positive.
