User Testimonials
	Google Maps API	MaxMind GeoIP®
Likelihood to Recommend	Google It is most suited for someone who has a physical office, particularly a retail store which helps them to promote the business locally. I would suggest businessmen should use this tool for promoting their business in a more effective way. It is of least important if you are promoting your business digitally and don't have a physical location.

Pros	Google Very simple UI, easy to use. You can send your live location to a person who wants to meet you. You can mark and pin the locations you are travelling regularly. You can get the code of iframe for any location and embed it into your organization's website also.

Cons	Google Offline location required for some certain locations Needs to reduce updates as it is comes from most of the updates. Maps needs to be accurate in small areas in order to find destination.

Support Rating	Google It does everything I need it to do and hasn't let me down yet. It has been a lifesaver for my roofing accounts. Most of my clients for the roofing belong to an Amish community with no computers and so forth. So being able to search the maps and look at the rooftops is imperative for those campaigns.
