One of the most useful features bundled with Google Maps is the traffic information it displays on both Android and iPhone, with users, therefore, being able to anticipate the conditions much more accurately.

Just when you’d think most people already know trusting a navigation app blindly is a big no-no, here’s the case of a Briton who attempted to drive on the tram track because that’s where the sat nav told them to go.

If you’re a long-time Waze user on CarPlay, you probably know already that the Google-owned app has been breaking down the audio controls for quite some time for some unlucky fellows.

Apple has been working very hard lately on improving Apple Maps, pretty much in an attempt to build a Google Maps rival, but at the same time, the company has never been in a rush to announce the broad availability of the latest updates.

Originally supposed to be a navigation app making it more convenient to drive to a specific destination, Google Maps has evolved to become so much more.

Google Maps is currently the world’s number one mobile navigation app, and the Google Play Store statistics are the living proof in this regard.

There are plenty of navigation apps with support for Android Auto out there, but needless to say, most people choose Google Maps, Waze, TomTom GO Navigation, and a few others.

The adoption of Google Maps most likely increases on a daily basis, and as far as Android Auto users are concerned, relying on this app for navigation guidance just makes sense.

One of the most recent new-generation features introduced in Google Maps is support for eco-friendly routes, which in theory should help the navigation app reduce the carbon footprint of every car where it’s used.

Let’s be honest about it: while Waze can often be considered a godsend, as it helps users deal with the nightmare traffic in their regions, it has also become a super-buggy application that stops working all of a sudden for absolutely no reason.
