It provides real time estimated time of arrivals, different route options, and general mapping use, all for free on Google Maps. > > **Cons**: Honestly not much. It is one of few perfect software's out there. Regardless of where you are in the world, Google Maps will find a way to get home, and that is a powerful tool. > > Truly satisfied with the features for the software. It has never failed me and I will always continue to use Google Maps as my navigation tool. ----- ### "I am very upset with this app" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 31, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use. It looks nice. I like that the lighting adjusts automatically when dark vs. daytime. > > **Cons**: It OFTEN will not give me the right directions, or not give me the fastest route. I will often be taken a longer way even though my settings are not set up as preferring fuel-efficient routes. ----- ### "Effective app" — 4.0/5 > **Mackenzie** | *July 6, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This application is easy to use and has a clear map that is easy to follow. Always gives me the fastest route. > > **Cons**: Sometimes when trying to find something it pulls places from way farther than what would be closest. ----- ### "My go to for navigation" — 5.0/5 > **Joanne** | *December 4, 2025* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easiest program to use ever. Gives accurate area mapping, has a really simple user interface. Great for navigation. > > **Cons**: When you do hit an area that is new development. It is not always easy to manoeuver while driving to get to you're destinations. > > Easy and pleasant to use. With quick searches it has always gotten me to where I needed to be. Will continue using. ----- ### "Convenient, Easy and (Mostly) Accurate" — 4.0/5 > **Manpreet** | *August 21, 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A convenient feature to navigate directions or plan a trip. It can be downloaded on my phone and accessed through the app which is easy. For the most part, directions and timing are accurate. > > **Cons**: It is not always accurate in terms of the "best route". I also find sometimes the interference of cell towers can cause some commotion or delay in directions. This is challenging when you are in a busy area. > > Overall, still a great tool to use. I use it almost daily and I would consider it reliable and functional. ----- Page: 1 / 75\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1010739/google-maps?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1010739/google-maps) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
