Travelers, commuters, and people looking for directions
Very good experience overall - its done what we need, support has been good when we've needed it - and the free-version is great whilst our product is in it early life.
For me nothing to point as negative for our purposes.
Super easy to implement (10 minutes for devs to change APIs and push up to servers), increadibly affordable (we are saving 90% compared to Google maps), beautiful maps.
We were missing the possibility to adjust subscription payments.
Nothing but good service with the best affordable price to work with maps , geocoding and routes.
We haven't used the map utility in a while, but it was somewhat more difficult to implement and style than other similar tools.
Great service with easy integration as is a default nominatim service. Great service and low cost solution as backup for nominatim server.
Recently we decided to stress test our to our system for czech republic.
The most I liked about google map is the ability to save places on the map and make my own collection. It makes my travelling very easy and pleasant.
I have found some errors, however, within the history of visited locations. There were some entries stating missing location and/or some locations visited that had the wrong Business Name entered.
Loved it and the best app so far and used for everyday commute by car or public transport with best accurate details.
I find it difficult do,ding what I need. Could be a lack of computer skills, but I find navigating confusing.
Google map is my one of the favorite app not only app it's my best friend it's always with me. Google map lot of time save time and give comfort journey.
Maybe because of the uncertain routes, but still when I have to use it, there isno option. The battery consumption is high and sometimes offline mode lags a bit.
Easy to use, great navigation, great visualization for most of the time. Very important can be when the narration says something like - be in the 2nd lane from the right to turn left.
It lags sometimes, like when your service is lost and it connects back again there's a slight lag in the system.
Andrew: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO manager. I give Google Maps a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. We were not using any other products prior to Google Maps, however, we decided to go with Google Maps because of its ease of implementation, as well as its excellent reputation in the industry. The reasons we chose to go through Google Maps were ease of implementation and the fact that it is a free product. And additionally that it's easily accessible by many different people. Getting started with integrating Google Maps into our website was extremely straightforward. And it really involved just turning on the API implementation on the API dashboard within Google, and then updating the code on the website. After that, it was pretty straightforward from there. For any company looking at a mapping solution and is considering Google Maps, I would recommend that they look at what features Google Maps offers and whether they might want to upgrade to the paid version of it. And additionally, they may want to look at alternative products as well.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
