I'm out

You cave to the Orange Monster, and then you start PUSHING ADS? I'm out.

Bugs

Easy to be logged into by hackers

Voice Options Please

Good app (we all know this) google owns us all. HATE the new voice. You’re forcing a local “politically correct” voice on me. Give us a choice to change the voice “person”. I know you’re too big to listen to me and the thousands who dislike the recent voice changes. Just want to have my say.

Inaccurate and unreliable

Inaccurate data, unreliable navigation, intrusive ads. Malware.

Address not showing

Open maps and location not showing correct

App updates

Idk why this app needs to update so often. Why not just use the browser

i love it

and i hate it.

Inaccurate speed in real time

Unfortunately it’s awhile incorrect realtime speed while navigating Google Maps according to car speedometer and speed limit signs lights so google should fix it

Himalayan Kitchen bar and Grill

Awesome food good service will be back

Absolutely worthless

I input planet fitness and it navigated me to a Crunch fitness. I guess it thought that was close enough? You’re better off asking random homeless people for directions than using this app

Was great until Gemini replaced the microphone

Google Maps is a great resource for navigating, but recently they made their Gemini AI the only way you interact with Maps by voice, like when you’re driving your car. Instead of just transcribing the destination I want it starts asking me how it can help me, then takes too long to respond, and instead of simply entering my destination presents a number of choices - often all incorrect interpretations of what I asked for. Very frustrating and dangerous because of the increased attention it requires to operate.

Glitchy and slow

There’s always 100 different glitches. Honestly the worst map/gps map

Muy bien

Cada vez lo uso más, muy chingkn

No more NSEW, switching to Apple Maps

Going to try Apple Maps since Google Maps took away the NSEW indicator on CarPlay. Very poor decision on their part.

Doesn’t work very well with the latest iOS

Since iOS 27, CarPlay maps will not show most of the time, but a Blank screen.

Does this on 2 different vehicles.

Not centered

Google Maps refuses to fix centering issue for Apple car play.

Sad times

Take me to the middle of no where
