I use Google Map API in my company's official website so that our clients easily locate us. This tool is a very affordable, accurate, and widely used map API as compared to others. I can't only customize Google Maps API as per my needs but it gives static, dynamic, and 360° views to my prospects and clients. It also gives real traffic updates when someone wants to visit our office.
  • Gives local information
  • It gets updated very frequently which helps our clients discover the shortest route
  • I can customize it as per my needs
  • Is very affordable
  • It should be updated more frequently as the route/road changes from time to time
  • Few remote locations are not covered in Google Map API
  • At fewer places it shows wrong directions so need to they research on that
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.
  • Make a customized map with a pointing my organization
  • Plan routes leading to my office
  • Check in features given by Google map API
  • Definitely it gives optimum ROI to my organization which is positive sign.
  • My company overall business showed a positive growth rate.
  • I now get more no of people visiting my office .
Though Mapbox is cheaper than Google Maps API Google map is more accurate, has a good database, and has more maps in it. It has excellent language support and a better view than Mapbox. One can personalize Google Maps more than we can do in Mapbox. Lastly, Google Map API is more reliable than Mapbox.

  • Building the scenerio based application which requires accessibility.
  • 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.
Maps API requires a sufficient amount of data that needs to be updated time by time also sometimes it throws cors issues while working with the API. It is one of the best platforms in order to implement the application. Also very easy to find the application which requires most of the time.
  • Fetch method implementation.
  • Showing the accuracy towards the path of the application company.
  • Easiness to implement inside the application.
