Google Maps Positive Reviews

Potential upgradesSo I absolutely love Google Maps I actually like it way better than the maps I come on the Apple iPhone, and the only thing that I wish it had is the speed speedometer regardless if you have a destination or not, I have a lifted truck and my speedometer is off between 10 and 12 miles per hour, so looking at my speed gauge doesn’t work obviously I can have my truck tuned to fix this issue, but it would still be a nice feature to have that. The other thing is when you are in Apple CarPlay mode let’s say I’m a I am a home improvement contractor and so one thing that my clients appreciate is me sending them my location when I am in route so that they can watch basically my drive up to the point when I pull up so it would be nice to be able to send them my location once I’m in route like while I’m driving the work around that I do constantly is I sit in my truck I put in the destination before I turn on my truck and I send them my location so that I’m doing it before it links up to Apple CarPlay. I don’t even know if that makes sense to anybody, but yeah, the workaround is not turning on your vehicle or allowing your phone to go onto Apple CarPlay mode because I’m assuming it’s a safety feature. typically I use Waze when I’m going to my in-home consultation because not only does it have that speedometer 24 seven rather I have a destination or not it also allows me to send whomever my location when I’m in route at any point of the route, something to think about.Jay_txn830Version: 26.06.2

Full ClarityI will start this off by saying when I decided to get help for my disease, I didn’t understand it was a disease and my own idea was I just need to get away from my D.O.C. where I wouldn’t have access to have it. I “believed” that I could stay for the period of time away and I would have no problem going back into society with just Will power. 21 days can break a habit or make a habit was my belief. I owe it and want to thank Banyan for completing changing my own ideology and more than likely saving my life and allowing me to actually achieve my goals I had previously set before I became an addict. I truly didn’t believe I would learn anything when I was coming here and I’m blessed to say I was COMPLETELY wrong! This place just doesn’t focus on drugs and alcohol, they help you understand the full mental health of your scenario which was EYE OPENING for me. I could have went to any rehab I wanted too, but God gave me a message to come here I didn’t know why at the time, I just listened and knew he had his reasons! God was 100% right! I genuinely believe that I wouldn’t have learned anything like how I have here based on people past experiences at other rehabs. I’m blessed to say I’m forever grateful I listened and went to this facility. I would recommend anyone that is struggling with their disease to choose Banyan. As stubborn as I am, as independent I am, how I’ve always knew what I was doing, they have completely given me Clarity and I appreciate it. Thanks..THIS IS FOR YOU TO READVersion: 25.35.0

Love Hate RelationshipYes I do give Google Maps ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the following reasons: •100% Reliable on Estimating Time of Arrival •Allows you to be able to correct Information that is completely incorrect and inconvenient if you end up an hour the 🔚opposite➿direction 🔜due to others who think it’s funny to enter false details like construction 🚧 was there so detour signs to Boston 🏟take you to🛣⛩? Google should just hire people to double check user 📲input for ex. shortcuts are safe for all vehicles, ✅correct addresses for companies📪, pictures are more accurate 🏠🏚and private🔐, if someone looks up your address you should be notified ⚠️about it just some ideas 💡 • Some Innovating Features the App does include though is the Directions and how long you’re entire commute that day will take as it allows you to add your starting location then your destination after doing so you can add everywhere you want to stop in order. Plus, if you have an appointment and want to know what time you have to leave to make it on time you can set an alert for when you should depart or when you want to arrive. I like being able to add places where I want to go but can’t that day so it lets me put it under places I want to visit. Lastly, I love sharing my photos and my experiences on the road wherever I stop. At the end of the day it’ll ask me if I enjoyed such n such restaurant or stores that I stopped at as well as let’s me add any information missing or correct any outdated or incorrect information!.Life Driven by GoogleVersion: 5.18

Toddler ApprovedMy just-turned 2 year old was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes six months ago. The admission to the hospital and stay was a traumatic experience for him, especially with putting an IV in and continuous blood draws (took them at least 5 times and sedation to get it in at All Children’s) With the life-long diagnosis, we will need continuous labs and blood draws. This was our first set of blood draw labs prescribed after diagnosis outside of the hospital setting and I was terrified. My baby has been through so much in the past six months and with the stress of doctors and needles, I knew bringing him to QUEST for the blood draw would be a nightmare. A friend recommended Fast Draw Express and they were truly a gift from heaven!! They came to our house, where my son was most comfortable, were great with strategies to keep him calm, and that needle went in quick and painless as can be. He needed like 6 or more vials drawn and he barely whimpered with the needle insert and immediately stopped crying and was calm and fine while the vials were filled. This is an EXCEPTIONAL service with EXCEPTIONAL service. I will use it over and over any time he needs blood drawn. If you have Littles, with similar stressors or experiences or just Littles in general or anyone any age who doesn’t like blood draws… I recommend Fast Draw Express a million times, no hesitation. You will not regret it. Thank you Fast Draw Express for taking a weight off my chest!!! I am so grateful!.JjScireVersion: 25.16.1

Recommending Mr Rooter of Atlanta.We recently discovered a leaking hot water heater and initially contacted a big box store regarding replacement. We have a family rule that we always get 3 estimates. Our second estimate was with Mr Rooter. The plumber who came out was Daniel Relf. He took an entire morning to analyze our whole water system( 3 water heaters, 3 bathrooms, outside faucets, and outside sink). We were very impressed at his thorough analysis. Also, he called in a master plumber with 37 years of experience. ( sorry, don’t have his name.). The option we chose was to install a tankless system. Despite the initial cost, it seemed to solve future problems. Two water heaters were over 21 years old. We had some other leakages that would have presented future problems. Updating a few parts was done too. The tankless system analyzes your water usage for about 2 weeks and learns your habits and will have hot water prepared in advance. Luckily our crew was available the next day. Mr Rooter of Atlanta sent us Daniel Relf, Ricky Relf, and John Sobus who worked over 12 hours so that our job was completed in one day. We were so pleased with their professionalism. They were very pleasant, thoughtful, and exceptionally kind, even offering to carry in my groceries. They kept us informed of progress and explained everything well. They cleaned up and did not damage our walls, furniture or ceilings. We can’t recommend them highly enough. We have had no glitches, but Daniel gave us his personal cell # just in case!!.LaTiDaBufordVersion: 6.138.2

A1 Garage Door ServiceI have been sitting on this review for a week partially because I was so overwhelmed by the experience and partially because capturing my experience with Cody Calhoun goes beyond words. My home is fourteen years old and everything that can fall apart has been, getting a new garage door was not in the plans. When Cody Calhoun came to look at my garage door last Saturday he was professional kind and informative but once he gave me an estimate it was more than I could do and feeling defeated I let him know that I couldn’t make it happen. Cody could have said goodbye, could have walked away leaving me with an open and broken garage door, but he didn’t. He stood in my garage after I said goodbye and allowed compassion to lead the way. He didn’t look for the sale as much as he did the solution and a desire to make a difference and because of his heart choice I have a beautiful new garage coming and one less worry to carry. Cody also called another technician to help him close my garage door so our home would be safe until a new garage door could be put in. Everyone with A1 Garage was professional and kind and communicated in a timely basis and I have shared my experience verbally a few times since last Saturday. I can’t thank Cody enough for showing up not only to do his job which he is extremely good at, but to make a difference..Sunny skies aheadVersion: 25.12.1

Valley of the Temples, Kaneohe, HILetter of reference for Emily Sherych and Charles Zhou My family lost our oldest brother in February and our second oldest brother in June, both in this year. It is heartbreaking, especially because our family are very close and they are a great loss to all of us. When our 2nd brother died he was taken by the State Coroner to Valley of the Temples instead of Hawaiian Memorial. We did not know it was in error until we met with a representative from VOT. We immediately informed your representative that we must meet with Hawaiian Memorial initially to find out how this mistake could be resolved. After meeting with Hawaiian Memorial we decided to go back to VOT to process cremation asap and avoid additional costs and we made an appointment with the representative we initially met with. When we arrived at our VOT appointment we were told the representative will not be in. However, another representative by the name Emily, the one who graciously greeted us at the door, came to say she will be glad to meet with us. Emily and your burial plot rep., Charles, met with us. We found they were very professional, answered all our questions, were gracious and compassionate. Emily gave us confidence and assured our needs would be fulfilled and we left with a comfortable feeling knowing our brother were in good hands. My brother’s cremation and funeral services arranged by Emily went smoothly as planned. We will not hesitate to refer Emily and Charles to any of our family members and friends for this service.

Lots of Features, Great InterfaceGoogle Maps was my favorite map service because it had many of the alerts like Waze has and it had a clean layout similar to Apple Maps so it was like the best of both worlds. The interface of Google Maps was very easy to navigate and understand. Lots of information was available about your destination and the road conditions. Very detailed directions were also available while the app was in driving/navigation mode. Similar to Waze, you could report incident and road conditions from within the app. This is more of a minor thing, but the voice used with Google Maps sounded the most natural and was the easiest to understand. Google Maps also allowed you to use a satellite view of the map, which could be useful when navigating a complicated place like a city where landmarks are very helpful to see. Despite all of its positive features, there were a few things I did not like about Google Maps. The text was a little bit smaller than the other map apps, and arrows indicating your current direction were less prominent. Although Google Maps was not as well integrated with iOS as Apple Maps was, it was available on the internet and therefore it could be accessed on all types of devices, while Apple Maps and Waze were only available on mobile devices (Apple Maps is only available on iPhones). This could allow you to plan your drive well in advance, and you could use Google Maps on the computer to get super detailed information about all aspects of your trip. I also think that Google Maps is more accurate than the other maps as they have things like Google Street view and I have never gotten lost while I, or my parents have used Google Maps..*?*?*?*?*?*?Version: 5.31

I Love this Chinese Gentle Touch Massage!Last Saturday, As soon as I walked into that Store, Clean and Comfortable air and environmental setting went into my eyes and Heart with peace and joy right away. Later on, when I went to single massage room, I felt cozy and comfy. The massage store owner LiJun(Yan) did 3 methods towards my back for my blood circulation! First was professional cupping set, second was very right temperature stone treatment towards my coldness, later one was her target massage knowledge and skill sets about my neck, right shoulder, lower back, two legs and ankles. Wow, time flew so fast. After her gentle different ways, my back tiredness like mountain or turtle back went away! Amazing and Awesome!! I am wondering when and how I could have my 2nd time visit to her and the pro. Place? Besides her, there are other two co workers there. They all shared their very knowledge and skills to me about how and what to pay attention and do in my daily life to improve my health and well beings! If you are like me, looking for a professional and trustful place and people to go to take care of yourselves in responsible and worthwhile way, this is your best choice!!! Thank all of you three at day at this store! Very nice to meet you all! Hope the best to you all and this store! Surely, the best for all of the visitors and customers too! ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏.Dfjkeknr kjedhfjr3heVersion: 25.31.0

Best Free App in the market, but far from perfectGoogle map is one of its kind and I deeply appreciate what it has offered. However, I rely on it for transportation and it introduces frustrations frequently. For example, it doesn’t have a feedback channel for its planned subway routes in NYC. It plans for inadequate routes & unnecessary transfers that leads to frustrations without you being able to at least report its poor decision & improve. E.g I am traveling from Jersey City to midtown, where it advices me to take Path & transfer at WTC to line 2,3 instead of 1. I’m in a hurry today and line 1 was known for frequent stops, so I took its advice. Guess what? You will have to walk 12 mins and take numerous up & downs in the maze-like subterranean transfer hub to walk to line 2/3, whereas you only need to walk 1 min to transfer to line 1. The walk to line 2/3 itself equal to walking 4 blocks and longer than another stop on line 1 itself. One should never consider transferring to line 2/3 from PATH at all! And Google decided that they are the smarter guy here and no need to provide any channel for feedback, or improvement. Another bug is when you use it for driving navigation, and when you give poor rating on the current navigation session, you will not be able to see the submit button if it was in horizontal mode; the text field will block the view. And if you move it to vertical mode, all the form will be gone- including things you typed for 5 mins in the text box. I noticed this bug since 2021 and as of 2024 it is still not fixed..LudwiglevoVersion: 6.114.3

JRI’ve been a patient of Doctor Mojtabavi since 1989. I’m a former nurse, longtime caregiver for three family members and have been ill several times myself myself. He is the finest physician I’ve ever known. His diagnoses are always exactly correct. He’s understanding and caring. Do be aware he has a very, very busy practice as well as being emergency room attending at Mountain View Hospital which is in the hospital adjacent to Mountain View musical office building.I’ve learned that the wait to see him can be long. But I make allowances for that and just don’t schedule things that conflict with an appointment. He answers questions patiently and completely. The only reason I can think of is someone might find him adamant to abrupt (as I’ve seen a couple of reviews) is that a patient may ask for his opinion, but if they don’t like it and tries to disagree, expect him to stand by his decisions. That is when it’s the patient’s responsibility to to seek a second opinion! Personally, I trust him with whatever information I receive or ask him to explain in detail when he’s of the opinion he is. He always takes time to do that. Lastly, his referrals to other specialties have been the absolute best. Be polite to his staff. They’re efficient and knowledgeable but are quite busy..Longtime Customer 30Version: 25.47.0

Google Maps has fallen behindFor years Google Maps was the go to option for navigation back when Apple Maps was a mess and there weren’t any great alternatives. But Google Maps has barely been meaningfully updated since and it shows. First off, the navigation voice hasn’t changed in years, and Google hasn’t added options for other voices. This isn’t a huge deal on its own, but Google has the resources to fix this, and Apple Maps at least uses the Siri voice you pick, so Google Maps only having one voice is kind of weird in 2026. Second, I find that Google Maps has a really cluttered UI. All of the businesses, landmarks, etc. are there, but they clutter the UI unnecessarily and make it weird to explore. Same deal with the road signs, which still use a generic cutout to resemble interstates, US, state and county roads if you are in the United States, where Apple Maps actually has real images of the actual road signs for said roads. Google Maps’ satellite maps also haven’t aged the best and I find that they are pretty blurry. I know this isn’t the default for most people but I personally like looking at satellite maps, and Google has fallen behind on making good ones. To Google Maps’ credit, having Google reviews baked right in, along with plenty of user data is helpful, but it doesn’t make up with the outdated nature of this app..JL WilliamsonVersion: 26.04.1

Can we choose which alerts we getI’m a truck driver I use this app to supplement my truck gps. I really need it for an object in road and police ahead. Both have saved me many times. However being a professional driver I don’t need the insane amount of direction from the app. So I have it on alert only. But I don’t need lane closures, construction ahead, low visibility. There are tons of signs for the first 2 with flashing lights. And seriously low visibility not once was there low enough visibility for this alert. And this one repeats and repeats and repeats. Get the point. Fog is not like a tire in the road where you need an alert. It kinda is in the air and sometimes it’s more dense but it’s not like you can’t see it before the alerts anyway. Please consider maybe giving us the choice of what alerts we get or ask around you don’t need those alerts I mentioned. Like the disabled vehicle alert you used to use that disappeared. Believe me nobody misses that. Also maybe create a professional or minimal directions choice. I see you have a more directions choice. I can’t imagine how that is compared to the already insane amount of directions you already give. Pull into a truck stop fuel island and see how crazy it gets.RobjlaVersion: 25.42.1

Lickety splitWe called Lickety Split AC, Plumbing and Electric for an emergency leak and got same day service. they are an incredibly busy company. We called at 7 AM because our garage was flooding and we could not find the leak and Robert showed up at 5 PM. He found the league immediately. We had to get the entire house replumbed, which they started the next day. It was done in two days and the work was fantastic. We waited for the drywall guy that second day who never showed up, even though we were told he was on dispatch immediately to us. He showed up the next morning and miraculously and professionally fixed all the holes in the walls. I don’t know how he did it, but it looks terrific. Just know that when you hire Likkety Split they do have a timing issue meaning they will say they will show up at 7 AM but for us they didn’t come until much later in the day. I do want to say they’re worth the weight but when you are anxious and worried about the house and what’s going to happen it would be much better to have better communication which they definitely need to work on. We didn’t get any phone calls from anybody saying they’d be right over. I must’ve called them at at least 10 times during this entire three day process, but I have to call out Angela from Likkety Split who was our saving grace our communication and our first and ever go to she is the best and I hope this company pays her an arm and a leg because she is worth every cent anyway thank you Likkety Split. The water is working great we do have to paint over the drywall but we have our house back and thank you so much for the fast and really, really excellent and professional service and thank you for paying for a hotel room so we could sleep and comfort while we had no water in the house.Ebarrett454Version: 26.08.2

Butterfield RV Resort and ObservatoryMy husband and I have been at Butterfield for the winter season. We worked as work campers in Activities. Everything was going great until a group of people started undermining everything we did. These are the same people who left the Park and are writing poor reviews. Even though they were trying to undermine us we continued to provide great activities and entertainment to our guests. I actually felt a little sorry for these people because they were missing out on so much and were so miserable. The negativity I guess is a by product of their misery. Unfortunately for them things continued to run smoothly and I guess that really bothered them. Our Managers were the best and most supportive people we could ever work for and we enjoyed working for them. Butterfield is one of the best RV parks I have ever known. People are very friendly and nice and it was hard to see people that kind be taken advantage of by this group of people. A few people still in the full time part of the park continue to create negativity but we all have risen above that and know who they are and what they are doing. Their behaviors won’t be tolerated for long. Once the negative people were out of the park things really started to change. Everyone talks to each other and the people seem to be so much happier. I guess in life we have lessons to learn and the biggest one is to be nice to one another. Our Manager Tammy is one of the best managers I have ever worked for. She and Jeff work so hard to make this park run smoothly. They are the most diligent and caring people. We will definitely be back next year because we love it here. We also appreciate the support we get from the Managers so we can provide a great experience for the guests..StarryryeVersion: 6.61.0

Great at finding stuff, terrible at getting you thereGoogle maps has the most information for any location out of any commonly used GPS/map application. But it frequently drops the ball on directions. It has a failure rate of at-least 5%. Several times a week I am misguided, or dumped short of the destination. Do not use google maps to go to Disneys Dolphin resort, it will leave you in the middle of the road, with a dotted line to fly or float over the water 🙄. I was once (many years ago) taken to a “Sonny’s BBQ” I drove 45 minutes to arrive in orange fields, and an old farm. Also, the speed limit function is helpful at times, and misleading at others. I would say it is only useful as a stand-in until you see a sign. I’ve been told many times that the speed limit is 10 mph over or under the actual posted speed limit. Often times when imputing several stops, the start button does not appear, and you are only left with a route preview, and you usually have to close out if the app, and input all of the information once again. Last week, I spent 1 hour in traffic for 3.5 miles, because my exit was closed, as was the exit after it, google failed to notify me, but my father looked into the hold up, and it informed him of the ramp closure, mind you he was several hundred miles away. Nothing is perfect, but I am repeatedly told by others to use Wayze. I am not familiar with the UI of wayze and need to acclimate myself to it. Unfortunately it can not replace Google Maps, because of the information provided by GM, it is like a phone book with a map and basic social media function. It’s great at what it does differently, and not so great at its primary function..ShakotanronVersion: 6.63.0

Rare Honest MoversAre you looking for an honest mover? One who not only works hard but always puts your best interests first? These are your movers. I hired them for a cross country move- NJ to TX. Josh was in charge is my move. He showed up on time, got everything loaded and even when we ran into some unexpected challenges they were able to find a solution quickly. These guys understand the mission and treat you with nothing but respect. When we got to TX there were even more unexpected challenges, as our house closing date had to change. Gabe the owner of SM got online and found me a storage unit to fit all of my belongings and then helped me find a local mover to help me when I was finally able to close. Did I mention the part where SM goes above and beyond? Moving is stressful and hard the only part of my move that I didn’t have to worry about were the parts related to Smooth Movers. I can tell you this much I will never move without them. I will recommend them to everyone I know because they are the team you want working for you. Hire them you won’t regret it. But you will have regrets if you don’t because they are the best in the biz! I would give them all the stars..Romaine33Version: 25.49.9

Rented a 6x12 trailer with rampI had a great experience renting the trailer I needed to purchase and relocate a golf cart from Lancaster, PA down to Somers Point, NJ. I chose this location because the staff here were very helpful 7 years earlier and I was hoping for a similar experience. Things couldn’t have gone better. I stopped by Wednesday to explain my needs and the associate there made my reservation for the trailer I’d need for a Thursday night pickup to be used and returned Friday night. When I arrived Thursday night Bruce got me papered up and made sure I had everything I needed to be on my way. He even worked with me to adjust a different ball onto the hitch as the initial hookup rode a little low. It was a busy night and he was able to accommodate several other customers and did a great job getting all of us squared away. The equipment worked great! I was able to make the run Friday morning and move the cart down to the shore and return by closing. Bruce was there again and helped me get checked back in ( in pouring rain) all the while with a pleasant demeanor. I’d highly recommend this Uhaul location. Very accommodating and professional assistance along with quality equipment..Bobdlx3Version: 25.15.0

Feels like homeAll of my life I never felt such a strong need to fulfill and live my identity as a Jew . Most my life I just took it for granted , a fact I was born a Jew and that’s enough . Well after almost 22 years all of this have changed . We all have our journey our paste to grow and learn more about life in general and especially about our role as Jews in this world . That is where Rabbi Yair Chodorov and his wife Rabbanit Chaya who is truly a woman of value comes in . They had a vision to create a united festive supporting and joyful community in Tarzana . That’s when MAOR YISRAEL was founded and in one word I can say WOW WOW WOW I don’t believe they envisioned the speed and growth of our community, every holiday every Shabbat we need more room because the place is flooded with so many people . The Gmarah studies of the yeshiva students the Rabbi brings here to teach young God generation that never knew how to open a Siddur. The celebrations of the holidays and 50-60 kids every Sunday morning praying from the depth of their pure souls with Rabbi Michael and his wife Rivky . The prizes the quizzes and activities it feels every day we need more space . I urge everyone to come and see for yourselves the joy of understanding the importance to live our identity and prayers . I call Ma’or Yisrael my happy place the happiest time in my day since it was open . I am blessed to be taught and educated by Rabbi Chodorov and I wish myself many many more years with him and our community. I recently was injured the the amount of care and love I received stunned me and I am sure speed up my recovery. Thank you Rabbi Yair and Chaya I pray God to bless me and others to be able to contribute so this place will grow bigger and better every day . Thank you so much Gadi.JohngadiVersion: 25.45.1

Overall a great app but needs some tweakingI've been using this for a few years now for multiple purposes. I prefer waze for driving for obvious reasons, such as current user reports (like cops on the road or potholes.) Google updates too fast when driving too. It might think I missed a turn when I’m actually still turning, causing it to update the directions and then backtrack when it realizes I actually turned. For transit I use this quite a bit. I’m in the Dayton Ohio region, and it’s almost always accurate as far as times and routes go. The issues I have are- it won’t show transfer / route options unless you have at least a 5 minute overlap. Which means it won’t show any of our “line ups” as options or transfers. A line up is when every city or county bus (sometimes both) line up downtown at the same time so people can transfer. Those line ups are important throughout the day for major route transfers but google won’t show them as options at all, because it’s less than a 5 minute gap between busses. It would be better if it showed those options, but Maybe with a flag warning you or something. The other issue is that people can request new bus stops or moving bus stops fairly easily and RTA changes the bus stops often. I personally had a stop added at the end of my street months ago. I have tried to have that stop added to maps several times, it keeps treating it as a location like a store rather than a bus stop, so I can’t check bus times or anything. Basically that makes it useless. I’m not understanding why it’s so difficult to report a bus stop change and have it updated? That’s actually the only annoying problem I have with the app. Hopefully they’ll address these issues soon and I can update this rating to 5 stars..SattireSamVersion: 5.26

ImprovementsI wish there was a way via iPhone to search bookmarks differently. I want to be able to zoom in an area on the map and have a list of just THOSE bookmarked places. I also want to be able to categorize them. Country, state/providence/food/activity.. and so on. And it would be nice to to be able to hide bookmarks. I hate showing someone my phone and have to explain ignore all of that. Also wish there was an option to just click a spot or long hold a spot while in route to add another destination or to see how long it would be to add another place with out having to do the whole search a place then “add stop”. It would also be nice to know right then how long total the trip would be with the added spots but also then how long it would be until your next destination with out having to click overview. I want to be able to see what my “reactions” are as well. Why do I only get to see “newest” and “most viewed” … I want to see reactions as well and when “responded/replied back” as a filter. Also adding locations needs to be improved I’ve tried adding a gas station to another country like 6 times and it keeps getting denied... why?! It’s a gas station that should be marked... what’s the issue?!.Tea-93Version: 26.18.0

The A Team Is a Class ActAmber, Andrew, Adin and the two younger boys were a pleasure to work with. They Cleared 63 Huge Water Oaks for our home site and widened the drive way so they can bring our house in. They moved a camper, chicken coop, helped us remove a fence that made their job possible. Andrew called me immediately once I filled out an onsite information form. He gave me a general Idea over the phone of all he could do and what he planned to do with the logs, stumps and limbs. About how much it would cost over the phone and then he and Amber made an on site visit and then gave me an estimate that was very fair after seeing all that had to be done. He told me how long it would take and he was spot on. He and Adin (18 years old and what a perfect example of a mature hard working young man) Handles a chain saw and an excavator like he has been doing it for years…because he has! Amazing Father and Son Team. And let’s not forget Mom and the younger boys…amazing fair, honest and amazing family business. I would recommend them 10 x over and again…we will use them for all our future projects…they went above and beyond and then some! 🌻.Stoneshandygals.comVersion: 26.14.0

More than photosI don’t even know where to begin—this photography experience was everything I didn’t know I needed. As a woman stepping into a new chapter, outside of my comfort zone and trying to rediscover myself, Sandra and her assistant created a space that felt safe, sacred, and honestly… magical. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen—not just physically, but emotionally. This wasn’t just about taking pretty pictures. It was about capturing the version of me I’m becoming: confident, radiant, soft and powerful. Sandra guided me through the session with kindness, patience, and just the right amount of hype-girl energy that made me feel like I was glowing from the inside out. Privacy was clearly a priority—every detail was handled with professionalism and care, and I never once felt exposed or uncomfortable. Instead, I felt protected and celebrated. This shoot helped me fall in love with parts of myself I’d forgotten, and introduced me to parts I hadn’t met yet. If you’re a woman ready to reconnect with yourself, explore your femininity, and step boldly into a new version of you—this is your sign. Book the session. You won’t regret it..Now never just a momVersion: 25.20.0

Great App - Feature RecommendationThe app works perfectly. I love the offline maps feature. I have only one recommendation which is somewhat niche. I live in Tijuana and commute to San Diego for work most days and the app is not good at estimating the time it will take to cross the border. Even more specifically, I cross via the Sentri lane, which is not the normal crossing lane and has a separate entrance route from the rest of cross border traffic. Currently, to estimate my commute, I have to create a custom pin for the general street where the Sentri lane starts, create a map route with my desired arrival time to decide when I should leave the house, go to the CPB app to see the wait time estimate for crossing through the lane, and then create another map route, starting at the San Ysidro crossing, with my expected crossing time as the departure time to see the traffic time estimate for the rest of my commute. Additionally, when I get time estimates during the morning and have to change my direct route due to heavy traffic and the traffic police blocking lane entrances, maps does a bad job at estimating time and recalculating the best routes. Again, I understand this is super niche but the CPB app itself is trash at estimating crossing times and I am sure google has a lot of real time traffic data that could be used to estimate crossing times and recalculate routes for Sentri crossers in the case where the traffic police are blocking Sentri lane entrance points. If there were some way to have a feature that could even semi-accurately predict crossing times and would allow me to select Sentri as my desired border crossing lane, i would be willing to pay to access such a feature. However, other than this small suggestion, the app is amazing..Ricky1222Version: 5.88

Google Maps Negative Reviews

Was once great, now dangerous using this mapsAfter driving from FL to MN I have multiple concerns with google maps and it puts drivers in dangerous positions. Thankfully there was a passenger to help navigate otherwise I would have been lost multiple times. Pick the route due to least amount of time and tolls. Every 15 minutes it would switch the route by itself adding time and completely different direction. Maps will tell you keep left at fork on 5 lanes of highway and doesn’t tell you until last second that all 4 left lanes turn. If it even tells you at all. Without knowing that it puts drivers at cutting through 4 lanes unnecessarily. Very hard to zoom out without it autocorrecting to zoom in. You try to look for a towns name that’s coming up and it rarely will show you all hotels/restaurants available in that town. It’ll say no results and then you’ll see 5 right off interstate. A few years ago it would give you multiple routes including nice scenic routes. Now you maybe get two and it’s all interstate. This is even if you toggle off highways/tolls. I have taken many road trips and some of the same trips multiple times and google maps does not give the best information. If you don’t have a passenger to help make sure the maps are staying correct, you are constantly having to stop to make sure. The list goes on. I know it can’t be perfect and thankfully I can read a map well because otherwise it can really screw with people. Waze maps is probably better for the most part..RawringirkVersion: 5.73

Dangerously useless app (Unless you have a touchscreen in your car)I thought this app was going to be better than apple maps and had heard high recommendations for it. Big mistake, this app has frustrated me like no other. The navigation voice is very late, I often have to switch lanes at the last second cutting a bunch of people off or look at my phone (which is very dangerous because I have to unlock my phone in order to even see my route) because It only tells you the turn when you’re at it. Also the voice malfunctions and has lead me in circles, or it just will stop speaking; This app alone has gotten me close to getting into an accident. Also, it just has bad routes. The first suggestion for my route is always confusing and longer so I just end up having to choose a better one manually. It has also lead me to blocked off roads under construction. And it takes forever to reroute, often telling me the new route after I’ve already passed it. It doesn’t notify you of speed traps either. Thats partly why I downloaded this app because I thought that was useful, but it doesn’t even work I have never once been notified of a speed trap (for context I live in Tucson so there are DEFINITELY speed traps here). It’s just a POS app and a waste of time/gas. It’s completely useless for anyone who doesn’t have a touchscreen in their car (who are probably the same people recommending this garbage). Anyway i’m going back to the default maps, just had to rant about this..HushkittensVersion: 25.49.9

Misdirections, no directions, freezesWith a growing number of other users, Google Maps has managed to convince me that I can not trust it to get me where I tell it I want to go. Repeatedly, over the last several months, it has directed me to an address other than, and far away from the one I input— and will only sometimes correct itself if I quit/restart the app. Other times the voice will say one thing while the graphics provide contrary guidance (which should I believe when I need to make a turn??). The voice guidance often drops out inexplicably, or fails to ever chime in on random trips. Voice and graphic guidance periodically drop out, hiccup, or freeze momentarily, most often when I must make a driving maneuver that will endanger myself and others if I can not prepare for it several seconds in advance (lane changes, turn signal, exits). And, as often as not, the app chooses routes that are convoluted and/or NOT the most efficient available. Google Maps USED to be the gold standard, but it is quickly descending into the abyss of unreliability where Apple’s Maps app also dwells. Very disappointing and, more importantly, very dangerous when you are encased in a ton or more of metal hurtling over concrete at 60+ miles an hour. I hope the developers will do what is necessary to restore Google Maps to (what I used to experience as) its “correct 9.8 times out of 10” former glory! Until then, I feel like it’s a 50/50 crap shoot every time I rely on it to guide me somewhere efficiently..TxtrMomVersion: 5.32

Why did you took away latest in the area tab?I always loved opening Google Maps and going straight to the “latest in the area” tab. It felt like tapping into the living pulse of a city — a real-time stream of photos, reviews, and little moments people were sharing from places they were discovering. It was almost like digitally wandering, letting curiosity lead me. Through that feature I found so many hidden gems I would have never discovered otherwise, especially newer places that hadn’t yet made it into the mainstream. It felt organic, spontaneous, and real — like seeing the city through the collective eyes of the people actually experiencing it. Now it seems to be gone, replaced by things like “dinner picks” and “signature sights.” Honestly, it feels like a downgrade. Those sections feel curated instead of alive. They don’t seem rooted in what’s happening right now, and they limit discovery mostly to restaurants instead of the full spectrum of interesting places people naturally share. What made the old feature special was that it felt dynamic and authentic. People are constantly posting reviews and experiences, and that creates a powerful real-time window into what’s emerging and evolving in a city. It was one of the most engaging ways to explore and stay curious. I genuinely don’t understand why such a unique and beautifully interactive feature would be removed. It made exploration feel intuitive and exciting, and its absence definitely takes away from what made Google Maps feel like a discovery tool rather than just a navigation app..Noora AlassafVersion: 26.11.1

Update and changes are horribleThis app used to be amazing. I’ve been using Google Maps for pretty much a decade and have always loved the functionality and accuracy. However, using this app recently has been difficult. The recenter feature during navigation does not recenter to the drivers point of view. If I was good at NSEW directions, I would not need to use the app so why does the map always recenter to face North now?? Second, there’s way too many alternate routes to reach a destination. If I’m 5 mins away from my destination, it’s not helpful to be suggested 3 other routes to get there. Last, the automatic route changes are not helpful when I’m driving, especially when they’re slower than the original route that I picked to use. This is my first time driving in LA so traffic and use of highways here are a little intimidating. Google Maps changed my route mid-drive twice in one day. The first time was to have me use a slower route to get to my destination even though I chose the quicker one when I started driving. The second time, Google Maps made me miss my exit because it did not specify which FWY lane to be in to reach my exit and then continued to make last minute changes to my route (I was following its directions so I know it wasn’t rerouting me because I was going the wrong way). Please fix this app the way it used to be. If you’re relying on maps to help you get to a destination in unfamiliar surroundings, these changes are dangerous and a distraction because it’s hard to navigate now!!.Oatmeal33.33.33.33.33Version: 6.89.3

Getting worse by the dayGoogle has continued to “update” the interface and by doing so made this a lot less useful, particularly if you’re walking somewhere. It continually shows multple routes, which is confusing. The alternative routes change routinely, which adds morr confusion. In sunlight, the blue and grey are hard to distinguish, especially if you’re wearing sunglasses. AND google maps picks complicated routes that often require you to walk through walls to actually follow. When there is a direct route that takes and extra minute, it’s impossible to force google maps to just take the direct route, nope, you have to choose between 3 convoluted routes of which at least two are longer than a direct route and one of which is impassable because, walls. Driving is not much better. The color scheme is very difficult to read in mixed light or bright sunlight. If you go anywhere further than 15 miles, there is constant demand by the app that you change a route because it calculates a trivial time difference which will clearly be wrong by the time you get halfway to your destination. For example, I recently drove from Merced, CA to Palo Alto, CA. Google determined that there was a 9 minute difference (on a 3.5 hour drive) and kept changing the route without my acceptance to one that would have put me in the middle of the worst commute traffic in the Bay Area as I got near my destination. I literally had to stop the car and turn off Google maps because it was more difficult to use than to just pull out a paper map..BobggtffVersion: 6.45

Almost more trouble than it’s worth.I use Google Maps regularly, as I am a field sales rep, so I’m on the road every day, visiting 5-15 customers each day. My territory is large, and I am new to the area, so I rely on t he map to get me from place to place. I also love the fact that when I’m on my computer, I can upload a list from excel and plot those points on to a map that I can access from my phone. The problem is that there are several issues that make using the Google Maps app difficult or impossible, and they change with each (frequent) update. The location of the option to access the saved maps is constantly changing, so it can be a pain to even look at the map. Once you are looking at it, if I zoom in and select one of my saved points to view the details, if I don’t hit it just right, it backs me out of the saved map entirely, and I have to start all over. If I hit it correctly, I’m able to view the details, but if I try to get out of those details so I can select another point nearby, I have to zoom in again, because it automatically backs me out to a view that covers multiple states. Also, sometimes when I zoom in to find a saved location point, once I get about halfway zoomed in, half of the data points on the view will just vanish, so I am not able to find the one I’m looking for. I could go on an nitpick, but these issues alone make the app unusable for me in its current state. So now I have to connect my computer through my phone’s hotspot just so I can use the map that I created. The app may work for your needs, at least until doesn’t..BjvidVersion: 5.58

Google maps killOverall that was the best product in the market when Google was google now Google tend to be a big sloppy fat lazy and not accurate not efficient and not reliable One of the idiots there add one White arrows on the map instead to put them there is it guidelines as a landmark is a sign of turning in joining or something like that they made it like it’s part of the road and measure the distance between them and direction given by them that is make all the driving risky business because usually it’s beyond the terms or you don’t have enough time to choose the right lane and hear you have an accident and soon people will die it’s time to be so not reliable so bad and misleading that is not worth it to war to use it anymore is a map The only thing that left before they were this way to is a database of businesses and addresses that is valuable and still in good condition in shape either not recommend to use is Google map is a map for navigation it might cost you in your life specially in the high was specially in junctions with few lanes and few things then you are really in a risk to lose your life I hope that somebody will wake up and leave the white arrow Is Mark’s only not object that distance will be measured from that point any bars be exactly like the old system between junctions interns changing roads and streets significant different from now that is misleading and may cost you in young life watch your steps I found it even Apple navigation is better than Google now very sad.Sheyd botzVersion: 5.58

App is useless for navigationThe last 3 updates have caused a once venerable navigation app to become one that almost completely covers roads with stupid businesses as it panders to their advertising. Why would I care about reviews of a restaurant or business somewhere I’ve never been if I can’t see how to actually get there? The second I tap to close all that useless info, the map directions I need for the place I did want to go to disappear. Ridiculous! And gone is the handy Measure Distance that one could use to determine mileage for a local neighborhood walk that would take me possibly 20 turns on local blocks…I certainly don’t want to try to tap 20 red dots on the site for it to calculate that. It says to use one red dot to start out, and wiggle the dot up or down to see Measure Distance, but the dot merely disappears if I try that. And I cannot clear the “nearby suggested businesses” overlay that takes up 2/3 of the screen. Even more ridiculous. So much for Google Maps being a useful navigation tool about maps. Nope. It needs to change its name to Google Yelp. Thankfully, there is Apple Maps, which actually is a navigation tool now. I had avoided it for years because initially it was awful compared to Google Maps. Now the reverse is true. And there are countless other navigation apps to use as well…no matter how small, they are all now far superior to the garbage Google is putting out..ZildjiancatVersion: 25.37.1

Something has changed recently…Used to be, Google Maps was extremely dependable for getting me from Point A to Point B. A recent update - maybe the one adding stoplights and stop signs? - has confused directions. I live in greater LA - lots of freeways. All of a sudden, any time a different freeway crosses the one I’m on, the map shows me that I should be “merging right” or “merging left”. No - the freeway I’m on goes straight thank you very much. I don’t need to merge anywhere. For the times I am familiar with the freeways I am going to be traveling on, it’s an annoyance. If I’m not familiar with the area, I’m confused, and more than once I’ve gotten lost because the app indicated “merge left”, when actually it meant, take the next exit to your right. That honestly happened to me tonight (hence the review) - I thought to myself, gee, I thought I’d be taking the 405 south here, but Google maps is sure I should be taking any of the left hand lanes here. Maybe there is traffic and this is a surface street shortcut? Nope - I got the notification at 0.1 miles that I needed to EXIT NOW! Not helpful at all. Last week o was driving around Denver on a business trip, and same thing - lots of notices to merge, when in actuality I was supposed to continue straight on the interstate. Until *EXIT NOW*!! I hate Apple Maps - had a bad experience years ago when I got my first smart phone. But I’m considering going there unless the next update fixes this weirdness. Two stars because surface street directions still seem to be okay, and I use it to find local businesses to check out. Otherwise, nope..MakadooVersion: 6.12

Good when it works…I love that when there is traffic, I can find the fastest route. I HATE that at least 10-15% of the time, it takes me WAY out of my way. If it were a case of an accident or road closure, I’d understand. But I’m in Miami right now, and I’ve only been here a handful of times. The map made me go several miles past my exit, and the place I was going was directly off the interstate. And there was no traffic there when I drove by after being rerouted from I-95 south, past my exit, then to the Turnpike and back to I-95. And of course, Google Maps specifically asks for feedback when you go straight to your destination, not when it takes you all over creation. I’m so sick of big companies only caring about good reviews - to the point that they’ll cheat to get them - and not caring about actually producing a good product. And it’s not like the exit I was supposed to use has been rerouted recently or anything. And it’s not like CEO Sundar Pichai couldn’t take even a million or 2 out of his $700 MILLION salary to produce a better product. Or Larry Page, founder and largest shareholder, for that matter. They won’t, but they definitely could. And they claim to care about the middle and lower classes. Please. 🙄By the way, make sure to pay attention to all of the fat cats’ political affiliation. It’s not republican anymore!.Osogood4Version: 26.11.1

Highly Discriminatory and Unprofessional PersonnelI was given a job offer after attending a company job fair. Mark in HR purposefully and maliciously scheduled processes in my onboarding (i.e., drug screening and physical examination) to take place over 28 hours away which is outside of routine practice. I was kind and polite in raising my concerns about this. I was given false excuses as to why he could not reschedule it for over a month and mocked for my higher education credentials for no reason. I wanted to work here to save for my bar exam and cover living expenses. Before coming to the plant in-person to speak with him about this matter, I called Penny at the company’s headquarters to see if she could help. She neither helped nor investigated the matter. Upon arrival, Mark left me in the lobby while I saw him sitting in his office not doing anything so that he could abuse his authority after the plant closed behind closed doors with no witnesses except for John (i.e., an ally to his discrimination). By merely asking about the rescheduling and having a desire to work, he fabricated a story about me being rude and immediately drafted a letter rescinding the offer instead of merely scheduling me at a location in town like everyone else. Systematic racism (regardless of color)c discrimination, and barriers to entry like this still exist and companies are either unaware or silently consenting to allowing people to do things like this and its sad..Emancipate_ThisVersion: 25.11.0

Make Re routing optional NOT MANDATORY.I have used maps for a long time. I have used it all through the US for years. But I don’t know when google decided that it needed to make re routing NOT optional. My wife and I are trying to go to Idaho from Montana and we have had to make this trip several times for custody exchanges. With that we have two routes. Go through West Yellowstone, or go more westward and go around it. We opt to go around West Yellowstone. As beautiful as it is, it is much more dangerous, slower due to traffic and weather. And all around worse cause you will lose reception. We opt to forego this path as 2 more minutes is nothing when driving 6+ hours. Especially it being safer and less traffic makes it actually faster. Well on this trip the decision point is Bozeman. We had to stop in Bozeman, and trying to get back on our route maps without notice, and after selecting SEVERAL TIMES, always will overrule your decision and keeps us going through West Yellowstone. I’m from here but my wife isn’t and needs the GPS we had been driving for 5 minutes in the wrong direction going the path towards west Yellowstone. After course corrections and many attempts it will always override and has caused us to go through west Yellowstone. So thanks GOOGLE for choosing the slowest and most dangerous path for us. Sincerely GFY this is this last time I’m using Google Maps..Bwittmer13Version: 26.22.2

Used to love using this app to navigateI’m currently switching all my gps and mapping over to apple even though it’s not as good because of these constant updates, it’s really inconvenient when I’m trying to go somewhere and I can’t because there’s always a update, I do not have this problem with Apple Maps whatsoever and there are other gps systems you could use if your tired of this as well, these guys make enough money that my experience using this app should be better than what it is, and thanks google for selling data on the internet to buyers 😘 I think if anything you should not be concerned about making money on data, in fact if it was up to me I do anything to protect my consumers data, when you sell this data why do we not get a share of the profit you make since it is our data? As well does google use this data to try to make more money off you? 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know but I believe google uses algorithms and A.I to better use these systems, in turn it probably only makes it easier to sell data. One thing google I want to know is where is my data going? Who’s using my data? And why are they using my data and also how much money your making off of my data. Respectfully I believe I deserve a profit off my own data I produce because data cannot be produced without time and energy consumption and inside data their is specific information that can only be produced specifically by the entity that created the data in the first place, which means that was specific data that had to be produced by the consumer using the program which I would think would be highly beneficial for the person that implemented that program. I know my data has significant value to me, because of what I use my data for..GoFUCurselfB1TchVersion: 24.48.0

Google Google Google…..come onEvery time I click on directions from Google, it asks me, do I want smarter and better and faster maps? Of course I do. So I can click a button and go straight to Google maps, an app I already have. Every time I click this tho, it does not bring me to Google maps. I click open maps, and I am brought to the App Store maps. Even tho I have the app. Then I open maps from the App Store and it has erased the directions I need so I have to go back to Google and then just type it in to Google maps myself. I might as well just use the maps app that comes with the phone bc instead of a short cut it takes me here every time. So every time I click for directions Google brings me to the App Store instead of pulling up the directions in the Google maps app. And then when opening the maps app from here it does not have any addresses saved from the google search I started with. Just not as convenient as the maps app already in my phone honestly. It’s actually wildly inconvenient when I’m running late and forget that the short cut will actually slow me down! Maybe this is more an issue with the directions button on Google not working (since it doesn’t take me to the actual Google maps app), but it brought me here so I’m leaving my review here. Every time it brings me here I leave one star..CbshakaoepmreofpgleleneVersion: 6.98.1

Too many incorrectly positioned address markersIn my city, Concord, NH, there are way too many incorrectly placed address markers. It is like someone took the map and shook it like crazy and all of the versions of the addresses with abbreviated street suffixes were scattered to random places in the city and the versions with the fully written out street suffixes stayed in the right place. If you search my city and zoom in until you can see the numbers on houses and drag around the different neighbourhoods, you will find countless houses with 2 different numbers on them (one of them will be correct and the other one will list information for a street that isn’t anywhere close to where it showing, which you can find the correct location for if you type in the fully written out street suffix). You can also find other ones in random places where there is no house. When you use the “fix an address” tool in the app and it gets approved, in your contributions section it labels it as “new address added” and the incorrect address marker still remains where it was, causing the same problem. They need to add a tool to report bad address markers that just need to be removed, so us volunteer contributors can fix the map for the people that don’t already know how to get where they are going without the navigation system..GufxbjhfxvbjfVersion: 6.110.0

Maps Unresponsive and Slow! (Bug)I’ve been using google maps more than often for the past year in a half since I do uber in south florida (we all need to pay bills) and I have the uber app set to always use google maps as the default gps and has always worked perfectly and smooth, especially that I love to use the hybrid satellite view, but these past two months with them updates it has turned google maps into a disaster and making my job harder, every time a get a ride and google map opens, it stays loading the directions forever, and there’s nothing wrong with my connectivity because my uber app is working fine and even my instagram, google just freezes in loading the directions to show me how to get there but it never loads, literally always waiting 5-8 mins later when it finally loads and this gets me extremely frustrated because the rider just stays there looking at me wondering when I’m going to start driving, even worst is once the maps starts to finally work and I start to drive, it only takes a few minutes before the maps starts to fade gray spots all over and have no idea whats where and end up just winging it by the directional lines and arrow its somewhat guiding me to, I can’t keep this up and unfortunately I’ve had to change over to Waze and make that my default gps with uber and just in general, hopefully you guys can get your acts together and fix this bug (virus) that google maps has encountered badly and I know that I’m not the only one experiencing this issue with all of the other reviews I’ve read recently, till it’s fixed (one day I guess), I’m sticking to Waze for now for everything....ʟⲓтⲙⲓχяVersion: 5.28

Wrong directions, dailyEVERY SINGLE DAY I report that the destination to my own home is blatantly WRONG and adds several minutes and you have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It has been YEARS and HUNDREDS OF REPORTS of “inaccurate entrance” and its corrections. Why do you even ask? Not only that, directions elsewhere are constantly wrong. Especially for turns. It will say specifically choose this turn lane instead of the correct and safe turn lane when this lane sends you shooting across traffic for dangerous maneuvers. Separately, it will regularly tell you to “go straight on the huge interstate you’re on” before extremely abruptly telling you to cross 3-5 lanes of traffic to exit immediately. “Continue straight” is NOT a direction I need. And if I ever choose a different route than the primary one, it will constantly change me back to the route you want me on, so I have to constantly adjust the app WHILE I AM DRIVING. Sometimes it’s 10, 15+ times changing my selected route. This is also extremely dangerous. How many drivers and passengers have DIED from your inadequacies? Also, bicycle-specific directions are absolutely awful. I’ve logged literally 40,000+ miles by bicycle alone so I’ve also used Google Maps’ bicycle features extensively. Google Maps will still take me on either completely inaccessible or blatantly illegal (trespassing) routes..JDMZ32Version: 25.09.1

Which Version is Which?I finally decided to update this and other apps, but I cannot ascertain which version this is. Here it says something like 5.5, but the app I presumably downloaded was last modified in January of 2018, the same as the existing one I already had. So how is this possible if I’m downloading the latest version? Am I missing something? Plus, there are no discernible differences or features in the interface. Is it all just bugs? Possibly. So my Sunday morning existential dilemma is this: Do I have the most recent version Google Maps, or not? It would help to provide that information, especially when you encounter difficulties downloading the app, and are still unsure if you really have, and so instead attempt to solve what may or may not be a problem by deleting and reinstalling the app, and losing ALL of your information, which is then another problem - even if you were forewarned, cause lots of apps say that, but your information is, in fact, still secure, intact. But not so with Google and their merciless stroke by eraser. But here is the final knot. In my desperation to find the version of the app on the app, and not being able to do so, I grabbed the wrong information, and the update referred to the Terms of Service, I just discovered. My mistake there. But is it customary to bury the version, somewhere inaccessible, perhaps, or maybe just think the user of the app is not entitled to this information? Cause I’d sure like to know what version I’m using on my device, and I’d like to see that clearly stated on the app. And so my Sunday morning existential dilemma is still intact..HeliosmouVersion: 5.5

2 Infuriating issues1st issue: when setting a destination, the app allows you to pick among multiple routes that take a similar amount of time to travel. For some reason, roughly 1 in 3 times I use this app, I will select a route other than the suggested route, and upon clicking start, without any notice or indication to me, the app will just switch back to its original suggested route, literally swindling drivers into thinking they’ll be driving one route and sending them through another. 2nd issue: when driving along my route, the app had no issue staying active and connected for 25+ miles, with my phones connection being consistently at 3/4 or 4/4 bars. Half a mile from my exit ramp, the app just froze me in place on the map, displaying that I still had half a mile until my exit, I passed the exit, seeing that I still had distance to travel and assuming I misread, just for the app to finally update a mile after missing my exit, and tell me I needed to take a new exit to account for it. Never once was my phones connection any worse here than than it was for the entire duration of my drive with the app staying fully connected and active. It almost feels like a prank that the app just decided to freeze for nearly 2 miles at a critical moment that made my travel time near double what it was supposed to be. How has this app existed for roughly 2 decades without ever fixing issues like this? How are you making Apple Maps and Waze look infinitely better after being the peoples majority choice in a GPS app for so long? The company should be embarrassed at this. I’d be better off winging it and asking the homeless on the side of the road for directions..BillllllllllllllllolVersion: 26.07.2

Let me begin...There was no reason to force an update with barely any cell service when it was not required, or even put as a notice of being a concern, that morning. There was no reason to force all attempts at getting directions to enter the App Store after the update finally went through. There was never any reason for directions to be chosen, start on the trip, and then being forced to go the way you intentionally did not pick to begin with partway. There is no reason that the name of some business you have never cared to know of twenty MILES in the wrong direction is so large it covers your route options when zoomed in and away from it, nor should those letters be links to add it as an additional stop. Google maps has more than a decade of updating to know how m: not to screw up personal settings; not force an update in low data/dead zones; not constantly reroute to horrendous traffic areas you did not select; not autocorrect to the wrong address when you have typed and selected the correct one; not constantly push you into the App Store after finally getting it to download an unnecessary update that proceeds to flip flop worse than a fish out of water. If the update are truly necessary, it should be when the system is not being used and set as a reminder at the end of the session..Is it actually necessary?Version: 6.115.1

Easy leave & edit review should be can’t reply to commentsFind location on map leave review don’t like what you said how you said it you can edit., Disappointing leave review for someplace that person owns place reply’s back you can not reply back to what they said I left review at someplace owner said it’s not true it is true I payed for service they took my money never got two classes I paid for I can not replay back to that comment I have edit my review do so., Also don’t like you have click different highlighted road for another route for iphone map I love more gives you many different routes you click route below not on map that google map force you to do if you click road on map you may accidentally click on house you don’t want to go I prefer and like have drop menu give different options route click on choose to make it easy and convenient for people to choose., If click on google map for different rout it sometimes zoom in have drop down menu do I want option a or option c click on option c takes to another location clicking map makes it troubles some and frustrating Apple Maps have better easy user friendly choose different routes unlike google maps does not need click on map on gogogle map where apple map does not have to drop down menu choose options.BatsksdVersion: 25.36.3

Used to be the best, recent updates are ughI used to LOVE this app, it was super user friendly and was better than Apple Maps or anything else. Now it screams at me while I’m driving to take alternate routes and I have to say “no” while driving or it changes my route on its own. I can’t be looking at a screen and hitting buttons on the highway every couple minutes, that is incredibly dangerous, and I couldn’t change settings mid-drive, nor am I confident I know how to actually change this setting where I won’t accidentally remove some other feature by mistake I don’t want to lose. Some people don’t want to switch highways halfway through the drive because there was an accident 50 miles ahead and there may be a delay down the road, this literally happened last week and I had to decline alternate directions a dozen times, by the time I got to the accident point traffic had cleared and I’d have lost time taking the suggestion. Also I miss how I used to be able to select transportation modes from a ribbon at the top of the screen, instead of from a menu at the bottom which takes up half the screen. If I’m planning a route I would prefer that the map be unimpeded as much as possible, because now the app thinks I may want to walk hundreds of miles and it’s prominently displayed at the bottom..Nobody ever knew himVersion: 5.68

Beyond horrible walking directions, convoluted GUIWhatever happened to the simple, reliable, and easy to use Google maps of yore?! Why bury simple features like dropping a pin for my parked location in endless menus never to be found again? Anyway, walking directions are mostly useless. I have to walk the wrong way for a while before the map will recognize my direction of travel. Even when it figures out which direction I’m walking, my location is inaccurate and/or the directional arrow will seemingly lock in the wrong direction. Once you realize you’re walking the wrong way, you have to exit guidance and restart it to redirect yourself. It won’t automatically reroute like driving directions. Take a clue from Naver Maps from South Korea. Naver Maps knows my walking direction of travel EVEN when standing still 100% of the time. Only plus is the spoken directions when driving is a bit more thorough than Apple Maps. I know these complaints/suggestions will fall on deaf ears at Google since the general trend with the developers there is to make the user experience as complicated as possible. Anyway, I’m walking around lost again hoping Google Maps will eventually route me in the right direction before my battery dies….CObigalVersion: 6.93.3

FRUSTRTEDGoogle Maps has stopped talking to me. I had 4 Geek Squad guys try to fix it. The problem is with this APP I posted on Facebook and many friends are having the same problem I have to put on my reading glasses while driving to get directions 😡.ChevysoagVersion: 5.19

Can no longer easily switch between walking, driving and transit.On the app you used to be able to choose whether you wanted to walk, drive or transit to the destination in the search. Now you cannot and I’m forced to use my computer before heading out and trying my best to remember, instead of having it ready on my phone. Used to love google maps and now I’m regretting having it as my main map. Switching to the apple map app..Holytrinity4lifeVersion: 5.19

Stop changing itThe app was fine then they changed the perspective while driving so it looks backwards on the map and you need to only be looking at the little green box in the top corner, kinda hard to get into that habit especially when your dyslexic so I often turn the wrong way because of the new perspective change.Cool_Nickname_hereVersion: 25.20.0
