Google Maps Pros

✓ Can add ☝🏻 featureEverything is perfect but can add one feature. Like if go in any vehicle and it shows walking mode so it will change(car mode) automatically instead of we change it manually from walking mode to car mode..Babu bunnyVersion: 5.58

✓ Overall good appI have used google maps for sometime, i have seen a mass improvement in the past 12mnths! Its obviously been updated? The only issues i have is sometimes theres a delay in instructions, ie: turn left in 100yrds, but you have already passed the left turn🤷🏻‍♀️& your position on the map isnt where you actually are( however this is probably in a dip in coverage, more than the app)🤔 the other issue i find, is if you just have a postcode, then this could cause issues! (Depending on how large the postcode area is) resulting in driving around in circles! So always try & input exact full address! Is it perfect? No, but generally it get you where you need to be 99% off the time! 👏.Begger offVersion: 5.84

Google Maps Cons

✗ Update has ruined it - switching to WazeHave been a big user for years of this app. It was always better than Apple Maps but the update has made me want to switch to the new upcoming app Waze. Changes to the app that weren’t required and are now annoying: - instead of showing my home and work addresses on the home screen, it now lists restaurants etc that I don’t care about. I use it to check traffic for my commute not go out, I now have added steps every time I use the app - no longer shows other routes, just tollways. I live 60-90 mins from work. I want to know the quickest way not the most expensive. - the arrow no longer knows which way is up and the blue dot is broken/missing. It used to take a minute to orientate itself but now I work it quicker than my phone. - Also annoying is the now convoluted start sequence. You’ve made it more complex than it was. Not useful when driving, more of a distraction. - AND why so slow all of a sudden? I had started to use the audio instructions when driving late at night and they have become delayed making me miss turns etc. * all of the above with a brand new phone and up to date software. A reversal of some of these ‘upgrades’ is required or me and I’m sure many others will be switching to Waze..JdeutVersion: 4.50

✗ Route planning failsI’m a courier and I rely on google maps all the time when going from drop to drop in areas I’m not familiar with, I’ve always raved about it’s reliability up until now, when I’m route mode it often flashes up I’ve arrived when in actual fact I’m miles away from my destination so I tap continue and it tells me I’ve arrived at my next destination which is even further away then it does it again, I’ve had to go back to doing individual stops again as I find I can’t rely on route planning anymore, please google sort this out it’s been going on now for some time, the other issue is CarPlay integration, it’s shocking, from time to time it’ll just crash and shutdown, other times I will stop at a drop, turn off the ignition and when I come back moments later I have to input all my stops AGAIN!! Sort it out google!!!.LiveoneleeVersion: 5.53
