Bugs and inaccuracy

Application occasionally requires re-starting to be able to calculate a route, as it reports non-existent routes until it is restarted.
Directions to inaccurate destinations (House numbers) - example: A business name search is accurate, but when I search for the street address of the same business, sometimes the application provides directions to a completely different location, usually along the same street, which means the street number register is incorrect.
Dictation doesn’t work and switches off while spoken to in the middle of a sentence or even half way through uttering a word while no pause was made between the words. Attempted to dictate this review as well but had to type it in manually as the listening Mode always switched off after the first second even without a significant gap between the words.

Hmm. From an Apple user.

The lifelong debate of Google Maps vs iPhone’s stock Maps app… this is a battle my partner and I would regularly revisit as two stubborn know it all’s. He preferred Maps, I preferred Google. In March this year, we both upgraded to the latest iPhone 14, and I suppose in a moment of weakness, I decided, “screw it, maybe I’ll just use the normal Maps too. keep him happy each time he needs directions from MY phone 🙄” Downloaded Google Maps again today, using it for the first time in two months. When I was using it previously, I didn’t have any issues. And would defend the app relentlessly whenever my other half would call it names 🥲 But today… I use Google Maps primarily for Google Reviews, not directions, and I was so close to finishing up a big, sweet, sappy review for some really beautiful businesses who have been a great help to us lately, and I felt deserved not just the recognition but the appreciation.. but as I’m typing my final words, the app crashes, closes, and erases my novel of a review (yes all my reviews are this long, don’t take it personally).. Clearly it’s not the end of the world for me to type it again if I can whip this essay out just to explain that small issue, but maybe not all Google Maps users want to type more than they need to, over and over again. Still love Google Maps for my own reasons, but do really hope this is fixed soon to save me rewriting stuff in the future.

Great Navigation App!

In addition to my previous reviews below, I wanted to mention that some beaches are accessible by 4WD during low tides and it would be useful if the app could include these beaches as roads, factoring in tide times, when calculating routes.

In addition to the suggestion in my previous review below, I thought adding support for Bluetooth connectivity to the OnBoard Diagnostic 2 (OBD2) interface of vehicles would improve the ability of this app to recommend the greenest/environmentally efficient route and possibly also provide additional data to improve Google’s self driving cars. I’d like to suggest an improvement for electric vehicle (EV) owners and that is that in addition to showing one or more of the shortest travel time routes when displaying directions, it would also show the most efficient EV route (e.g. based on shorter distance, predominantly flat and/or downhill terrain, recharging stations along the route (being able to specify the EV range of their vehicle to assist in calculating when charging would be required could be added to the settings), etc.), perhaps in a different colour (e.g. green) so that they can make a decision as to whether they’d like to take the optimal EV route instead of the quickest route (assuming they’re not one in the same).

Thank you for your review! Sorry to hear about the voice navigation problem. We've listed a few steps to try to fix voice navigation problems in this help article (please copy and paste the link into your browser): https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3273406
