Professional Reviewer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Maps has room for improvement." October 19, 2024 4.0 My experience with Google Maps has been 80% positive. Pros I like that when someone sends me an address as a text message in the correct format it shows up as a hyperlink and I am sent directly to Google Maps when the link is tapped. Cons I don't like that I have to tap the back button multiple times if I decide to exit the navigation before I reach my destination. I am also frustrated by the fact that Google Maps does not reorder multiple stops to give you the fastest route.
