Ratings and reviews

Google Maps is a very useful app for navigation and finding places. I use it to search for restaurants, shops, public transport, and directions whenever I travel. The GPS navigation is accurate most of the time, and the reviews and photos from other users help me decide where to go. It saves time and makes traveling much easier. Overall, it is one of the most helpful apps on my phone and I use it regularly.

July 2026 Update: Worse! Now, the directions are convoluted, doubling the distance or actual time to travel (e.g. a 3 min. trip GM now routes as 6)! Update: Sometime around January 2026, the starting location in my Google Maps (GM) app has been wrong. For example, when starting from my "Home", some random address nearby comes up. This never used to happen. I've cleared the app cache, verified that my location features are accurate & turned on in the GM app, etc. Nothing seems to fix the issue.

Most times I can't even put I'm in some place, although I've been there for a while and haven't moved. Also can't leave review as I used to, now it's much more complicated then it used to, and I should know, since I'm local guide level 7. Horrible changes, whatever they are. Keep removing my reviews for no particular reason, although I was there and added photos and all. Ridiculous! Also half of the stuff no matter how relevant it is, can't be put, and they remove it because they feel like it.
