Google Maps

Google Maps is a mapping and navigation service that provides directions, traffic information, and satellite and street-level imagery. It is used to search for places, plan routes for driving, walking, cycling, and public transit, and to look up business locations, hours, and reviews.

The service is available through a web interface and as a mobile app, and it is embedded in other websites and apps through its mapping tools. Businesses maintain listings on Google Maps that show their location, contact details, photos, and customer reviews, making the service a common reference point for local search and discovery.

Route planning covers multiple modes of transport within a single search, and saved places let a user build lists of locations to revisit, such as favorite restaurants or planned stops on a trip.
