Ratings and reviews

Google Maps has seriously changed my life. I'm slightly directionally challenged, and having this app gets me where I need to go, when I need to be there. I'm constantly changing modes of transportation, and I'm able to get a really accurate time frame for each of them. Having the Tarc schedule with different bus options is a life saver. Love this app!

It is definitely not user-friendly. I am going to uninstall it after I make this comment. I WANT the other Google maps app which I cannot now find on my apps list in all 3 locations.. However, playstore says I have it. It is not there. So I am going to uninstall it from the phone through the Play Store and reinstall it through Play Store. I hope it works. But this is an example of what happens every time Google does an upgrade. That Google Maps GO is awful.

Functions well enough, but there's no way to sign out of your Google account like there is on regular Maps. There's an option to temporarily switch to the browser incognito mode, but it will quietly switch itself back out as soon as you change any other setting (showing the traffic map, for example). It's very low memory and featureful, but this is not privacy friendly.
