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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "It’s just a little nap" — 3.0/5 > **Destiny** | *6 May 2024* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It normally pops up with accurate directions > > **Cons**: It always takes you the longest route, not a phantom that ----- ### "GOOGLE MAPS REVIEW" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 January 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. ----- ### "Google Maps is the Go To for Traveling" — 5.0/5 > **Melinda** | *11 December 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The detail of all treats and the showing of accidents with traffic backup in advance to give alternate routes. > > **Cons**: When driving to a location,the route home should stay the same with the option to change if needed. > > Google maps is my go to for getting to anywhere that I need to be. Traveling for my kids softball and hockey would be a nightmare without it\! ----- Page: 1 / 75\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/104575/google-maps?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/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
