Google Maps - GPS Navigation reviews from people you don't follow

Couldn't live without it
For me, Google maps is a vitally essential app that I just couldn't without it. There's rarely a day goes by where I don't use it for directions or checking traffic. The fact that you can check traffic is a very handy feature! I also love that you can check bus times by clicking on a bus stop. If like me you're not a regular bus rider, this is very helpful.
My only criticisms would be that sometimes the alternative routes don't seem to work. I live near the Manchester M60 ring road, so know there's always at least 2 options by going opposite ways round the ring road. However sometimes Google only gives me one route. But then other times it gives me both. Even if the traffic is atrocious I'd still like to see both routes! It also then makes me question the routes it gives me when I don't know the area.
Also the traffic indicator can be a little hit and miss. Sometimes it can be showing red, but there ends up being barely any traffic at all.

Easy navigation (1 more)
Add stops on trips
Never gotten lost yet
Okay so alot of people would use this... but have you tried the add a stop or 2 or 3 once your on your way feature? I did we needed fuel and had to pick someone up and all it does is edit your route add more commute time and navigate you to the stops while keeping you on track to your destination. Just wanted to share that ;) give it a try.
Google Maps - GPS Navigation reviews from people you don't follow
I don't know where I'd be without my Google Maps app - literally, I'd probably still be driving round Wigan trying to get home from soft play 3 days ago haha! It's invaluable, when trying to find a specific address, or an ATM in an unfamiliar place.
Recommendations for places to go when you're in a new place can be so helpful. Similarly, the time estimates for arrival at the destination are excellent; far more accurate than previous GPS/Sat Nav type apps and devices I've used, as are the information on incidents and accidents on the route.
I only wish it could be easier to try to get a detour; sometimes you can end up stuck in a loop trying to get around a temporary road closure, meaning you need to pull over and amend the route manually. Of course, there will always be limits to what technology can do, and this really is an outstanding app.

Very useful tool
It's a very useful tool as long as you have enough service when starting out. It gets me where I need to go when I'm not sure of what road to take it which way will be fastest. It's also good at showing you nearby places like gas stations, coffee shops, and restaurants.
