Google Maps

Google Maps is a mapping service from Google that is available on the web and as mobile apps. People use it to search for places and addresses, view maps, and get driving directions, and it surfaces details about local businesses so users can find what is nearby. It is one of the most widely used consumer map products.

Besides driving, the service supports other routing modes and live traffic conditions, along with satellite imagery and street-level views. Businesses can add and manage their listings, and developers can use Google's separate mapping platform to embed maps in their own apps. Google Maps is a hosted commercial product from Google; consumer use is free, and developer APIs are sold separately.
