What is Google Maps?
Google Maps is a basic web mapping service application and technology provided by Google. It offers street maps, a route planner for traveling by foot, car, or public transport and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world. The Android version also includes turn-by-turn GPS navigation.
The service was free for all until 2018 June 11. At that point it was changed to a commercial model with the first 28,000 views free. But, you MUST give them credit card information even if you only use it a few times a month. See https://geoawesomeness.com/developers-up-in-arms-over-google-maps-api-insane-price-hike/ for details.

- KazimirPodolski reviewed Google MapsKaAn example of how to NOT make a map software. * Messed up categories * Completely broken search (I just don't know what it does right - it never gave me complete and sensible result in ~10 years and 5 countries) * Dumb choice of objects on different zooms (random shop or venue is more important than metro station somehow...) * Terrible rendering hiding actually important details on sensible zooms * Missing essential features (like you just cannot save a point on the map, and dozens others) * Hundreds of other completely unforced problems
vladmihaisima thinks OpenStreetMap is an alternative to Google Maps- tomaszgonczar liked Google Mapsto
I use it to look at the backyards of the neighbours houses. 3D view lets me see from all angles. Thanks Google!
I have always used Google Maps because its the ultimate mapping service that has street views, satellite views, shows the traffic on the roads, give route options and also gives public transport information and timings. Also save maps offline.

i both like and hate it, google maps has the best map if you want to go somewhere fast but lacks the ability to let you do custom maps.
Not the best platform to publish in-depth reviews but users can share some updates between each other...
Not sure why Google Maps is shown as "freemium", never got a "subcribe now" windows then i was planning routes or getting realtime infos about an accident and alternative routes. For me 5/5 and definately not "freemium" but free. Just use it, no restrictions (AFAIK)
Best map for navigation.
