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 is an essential market research tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Hannah** | *11 January 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. ----- ### "Needs some minor improvements although good product of Google." — 3.0/5 > **Anuj** | *6 August 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. ----- ### "Best map software with accurate , reliable and fastest routes." — 5.0/5 > **niamh** | *10 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is the default app i use everyday in my iphone. It has the most up to date maps and accurate times of journeys, showing alternative routes and routes with less and more traffic. It is free on my phone. I have used it successfully in multiple locations in Ireland, remote areas here and abroad. > > **Cons**: I am not able to use it when I don't have internet. This would be fantastic if it could be used without internet. > > AMazing experience- i have 2 map applications and I only ever open Google maps as I prefer the layout and it's always reliable with journey times. ----- ### "A Great Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Oliver** | *9 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Maps is Iincredibly easy to use, reliable, visually appealing UI, great value or money and has a lot of useful tools. > > **Cons**: There are no issues that spring to mind in terms of negatives, if I were to name one it would probably be traffic updates. > > Google Maps is my go to tool for navigation and profiling an area, it has a great UI and userbase.
