We use it via developing the code when we are building it from a scratch. It is one of the easiest ways to implement google maps as it contains API keys which is quite convenient as compared to others. Also fetching the API is quite easy in the code we used for displaying locations.
  • API Integration
  • Features of the API
  • Accuracy of the results
  • Lagging issues
  • Initial boot tooks long time
  • Sometimes shows inaccurate location
I used this API in a clone website where we have done the integration of the MAP API which was working quite well. But as soon as it is started working [for] a long time we may face issues while seeing the functionalities were not accurate, so we need to refresh it a couple of times in order to display particular content.
  • Feature loaded
  • Futuristic as it is having multiple functionalities
  • Integration is quite simple
  • It helps us to improve in the code integration
  • It is one of the convenint way to setup the code
  • API sometimes not performing well in the small case areas.
Google MAP API is one of the prominent ones as compared to others. In the selection process also we are [complete] with the API provider by Google MAP as it is quite stable.No doubt it is one of the best methods to implement or integrate as compared to any others which is available in the competition.

It helps us to implement certain changes in order to build the application and teach the learners how to work on API which is quite good in order to display the maps data which is required for most of the people and showing the information for the same. Google Maps API helps us for implementing certain tasks on the same web application.
  • Location accuracy application we used to for displaying current location.
  • Easiest way to guide the map from one location to another.
  • 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.
  • Easiness to implement in the code.
  • We faced privacy issues while using it for the first time.
  • It helps us to reduce time and code effort.

Our company uses Google Maps API across our whole organization. We do appointment setting and lead generation for businesses across the U.S., and quite often, a client has a large geographical area they are targeting. So in each of our databases, we have a link for Google Map API so that they can schedule appointments in the same area on the same day. This is good for our clients, so they don't have to travel a long distance back and forth between their appointments.
  • It allows us to schedule appointments in the same area on the same day.
  • It enables me to recommend geographical areas to target for our clients.
  • I would like more information about population in a particular area.
We are a call center that does appointment setting for businesses across the U.S. Quite often, and we have a client with an extensive geographical area they are targeting, sometimes even across multiple states. Our callers can quickly search the area so that they schedule appointments on the same day in the same area. Very important to our clients as they get distraught when we send them to an appointment 2 hours away and then another appointment back to where they came from and then another appointment in the middle of the two, and the client is driving back and forth. Not Good! I do not have a scenario where it did not work for what I needed it for.
  • We use it to send a map with our appointment notice to our clients. We can customize it, so our clients are very appreciative and feel we go the extra mile.
  • I love to be able to use the satellite feature. This has worked well for my commercial roofing accounts, where the prospect is not sure what type of roof they have. We can use the map and see it for ourselves. Very Cool.
Other map programs do not seem to be very accurate with road closures, and traffic barriers like Google Maps API do. Its been a while since I tried the others, but when I did, they were not able to do the satellite views or draw like a radius around an area and print. I have found that pretty much anything. Google Maps API is easier to use than others on the market.
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.
