Users like:
- Google maps eliminate the need to use an actual map to try to chart out your course ahead of time. With Google Maps you just need to have a device on you that can support it
- Google Maps tells you the fastest routes and how to get onto them, giving you instructions on where to turn as you go about your trip
- Google Maps will tell you if there is heavy traffic or construction up ahead, so you can know what parts of town to avoid driving in
Users don't like:
- If you are driving with Google Maps and have many streets coming at you as you drive, but missed your turn, it may constantly refresh itself giving you directions to streets you have already passed. This is not too much of a concern in small towns but can affect some big cities, which may confuse people driving there
- Some addresses on Google Maps are incorrect and there are errors in some of the mapping, especially in more rural areas. This can lead to a lot of confusion when trying to get places
- Google Maps can eat up your device’s battery, so you may have to bring a car charger for longer trips if you wish to navigate with Google Maps for the entire time
Why to choose/Best for:
- Google Maps shows you where traffic and construction are ahead of you so you can know what streets to avoid driving down
- It also tells you how that affects total travel time
- Google Maps allows you to see how long it will take to travel somewhere walking, driving, or mass transit
- You can easily switch between all three options
- Google Maps will suggest routes for you when you put in a destination you are trying to reach, giving you the fastest but often coming up with multiple options

Horrible. Google doesn’t seem to care about fixing this app.
Don't Like:
The app keeps freezing.
Don't Like:
I have frequent issues with losing the gps signal.
Don't Like:
I used to LOVE using this app.
Even though I constantly make sure I’m going the right way, it never fails to flip around and send me the other way when you pull out the map of the parking lot. However, it works remarkably well for the most part, and a lot of that is probably due to either my phone provider or the map
