User reviews:

App works amazing 99% of the time. There are a few times it does something wrong but it is definitely my go to map app. I do have a few ideas that I think would improve though. 1. I use the app to plan my next day it would be cool to see travel times over a 24hr period instead of just near when you are currently looking 2. Show routes for oversized vehicles/campers to avoid low bridges and such. Thanks that’ll be all for my Ted talk today.

Maps is a wonderful tool. My only complaint is on my android one cant find altitude, elevation from sea level. I’ve read the help pages, to no avail, and even if i followed all the directions without a problem its too complicated , it should be a simple turn off, turn on setting.

The app is nice, has a good interface, and has good directions most of the time. However recently I told it to take me to a specific store and it’s giving me directions to one in a completely different city if it weren’t for this issue I would give 5 stars but I just can’t justify it when it’s actively trying to take to a completely different city from my destination. (For reference I am using the public transit directions) Edit: it’s been fixed so I’m upping the review

I’ve been using Google Maps for years now, and while I haven’t tried a lot of other GPS apps, I have tried a few, and I always end up coming back to this one. It has successfully gotten me to many, many places over the years – some distancing as far as 3-4 hours one way, to places within or around my area. I utilize every option within the app, as well. Definitely recommend.
