Pros

“The combination of mapping, traffic information, Street View, reviews, and business listings makes it much more than a basic navigation application.”

Samuel S.

CoFounder

“The precision of real-time route calculations, taking traffic and road incidents into account, ensures arriving at every business meeting exactly on time.”

Brad K.

Gigawatt AI - Founder and Executive Chairman

“We use it for navigation, finding locations, planning routes, and sharing precise locations with other people.”

Samuel S.

CoFounder

Pros

“I was exporting maps from MapInfo into Illustrator, and this software made it easier for me to do that.”

Rob C.

Senior Consultant

Cons

“Battery drain and mobile data consumption are quite high during long GPS navigation sessions.”

Shawn R.

Graphic Design - Art and Creative Direction

“There is not much I do not like about Google Maps, it is possible some other mapping services give more real time information about traffic jams and slow moving areas, but I have not done any in depth comparison.”

Emma B.

Financial Controller

“I am not a fan of the standard computer voice that comes with Google Maps, and how you cannot change how often the voice tells you directions, for example, in the middle of a phone call the directions will chime in over my phone call.”
