Integration with Calendar ensures I am always on time

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

In my experience, it has always proven to be the most accurate for directions. I love that I can see traffic and be alerted when there are accidents with automatic route changes to prevent me from getting stuck in traffic. When I add calendar events to Google Calendar, I enter the location of my destination and my calendar alerts me at my requested interval and includes traffic analysis. I have examples of times I would intend to leave for a client's 20 minutes in advance but my calendar notification displayed letting me know there was heavy traffic and the estimated travel time would be 35 minutes. Without Google Maps and calendar integration, I am empowered with the tools to be consistently on time.

Cons

One con could be that using Google Maps requires service so depending where you are traveling, this could be a problem. However, once you start a route and get directions, I believe it downloads the route so it can always finish to completion even in no-service areas. Also, if you plan ahead knowing you will be in no-service areas, you can download areas of a map offline which is very helpful. The only other con I can think of is that Maps often tracks your history by default which proves helpful at times but if you have privacy concerns, you will need to explore your settings and disable this.

Can't live without

Reviewed 4 years ago

I trust it more than I do other map apps. It's not as clever as WAYS, but it still gives you good alternative routes. There's a newer feature where it automatically estimates your next drive based off of where you're at and identifying that you're getting in the car - cool and creepy.

Pros

It's easy to use/follow. Love that you can search for locations/products/services along your existing route, and that you can set up your route with multiple stops! That's one of the coolest features they have! And you can also select your preference to avoid toll roads.

Cons

It's sometimes hard to check if my settings are set up to avoid toll roads. I wish it had a better integration with voice commands to make it safer when driving, or avoid having to pull over. I hate that it shows you alternative routes (grayed out) when they're SLOWER - it's distracting and no one wants to take that route so why even show it? I wish it'd only display other route options when a faster route was found.
