Something I always admired about my father was his ability to navigate the area without a smartphone. He worked an hour away from where we lived and it seemed no matter where I wanted to go, he knew the way. Then you look at me and I use GPS everywhere I go. Even routes I know, just in case they’re delays and/or shorter routes I don’t know about.
I remember when Google Earth came up, it was a mindblowing experience that changed my perception of how things are. Now, I don't go anywhere new without Google maps!
I remember this vividly as a kid. My parents trying to navigate using mapquest directions and one missed turn by dad can cause an explosive argument in the car. Not fun.
" I don't know how to get around without it now." - i feel like using google maps so much has actually made me learn how to use maps in general. Well, not just google maps, but cycling a lot - I have a more intuitive sense of what a maps "means" when it shows something.
One of the interesting features not mentioned here is how Google allows their subscribers to become local guides in putting in their input and local know-how into the Maps. The use of local guides allows Maps to have not only detailed street views but also a unique perspective into how a street point (i.e. shopping mall, small businesses, tourist attractions) looks like with photos and short video clips of these places.
The problem with that is that if you give a business a negative review they can make Google remove your review. I have reviewed over a hundred businesses in three states and about 5% are negative and of those more than half are deleted. I don't lie and I don't use inappropriate language nor do I say anything that I know of that is against Google's policies. But it seems that instead of responding, businesses can simply contact Google and tell them to delete a negative review. What's the point of reviewing if you can't tell the truth. Here is an example, a business in Clearwater Florida has a manager that bans mask wearing in his store. He kicked me out and threatened to call the police because I had a mask on and he said only robbers wear masks. That when he pointed to a sign on the door that read "NO MASKS ALLOWED!" So I changed my previous review to one star and included the above information. A month later my review evaporated. So I reposed it and it happened again. Then I looked carefully and noticed other negative reviews had also disappeared. This is true for several businesses in my city and not just my negative reviews disappear. So you cannot trust any review given by local guides which I used to be one but no more. There is no point.
There are ads, you just don't realize they're ads. Search Maps for a local mom and pop diner, then search for the closest Dennys or IHOP. Chances are the information for the Dennys or IHOP is more filled out and probably ranks higher in search. Someone paid Google for those rankings so you would choose to go to Dennys instead.

I've actually done that with Google Maps. There have been times when it made sense to just read the map, get an idea where I'm going, and then go from there without having to go by the GPS step by step.
Lol yes. I like Apple Maps only because it links with my Apple Watch vibrating when to turn left or right. Nice since sometimes I just doze off cruising. If google maps did that would be excellent.
yeah it depends the country, for example here in Sweden and Denmark google maps doesn't work very good, I only use it in case that im biking (still a pain in the ass to use it)
Security issues. When you follow Google Maps, Google follows you. If GPS alone tracked the people that use it, people would be outraged, accuse the US military of spying. Google Maps has become nearly as popular without the public or governments really scrutinizing what information gets collected. Yes, this seems late, but the real story is that people freely share their location all the time. Notice this is NOT "how to use Google Maps", its about how widely used it's become in a very short time.
I remember when I was in 8th grade in 2008 being completely stunned when we discovered Google Maps street view. Lol 😂 12 years later, Apple still doesn’t hold a candle to google maps.
This is a reasonably good overview of the mapping industry over the past 10 years. Google Maps certainly has the best POI data and mobile device user base numbers, and these combined with continuous indoor/outdoor Positioning data will deliver enormous value to Google and its users for many years, especially when AR becomes mainstream.

To be fair there’s a pretty long list of equally bad slip ups by Google. Whole islands and large mountains mysteriously disappearing, people driving into lakes while using their turn by turn, errantly marking people’s driveways as park entrances etc… 🤣
At least Apple maps actually does its job. Google maps takes about 15 mins to even figure out where I am, suggests completely inane routes that take longer for no reason at all, and freezes any time I switch to another app for a moment. There is not a single update in the last 10 years that hasn't made google maps more buggy and more broken.
I remember having a glove box stuffed with maps and a pile of street atlases under my seat. I'm glad I never threw them away since Google maps just became worthless this week with the elimination of functionality in the measuring tool.
I can't believe you didn't even mention real time traffic data off the major highways which was the main reason I started using Google Maps about 10-15 years ago. For the time, it was ingenious how they used everyone's location data to determine direction and speeds to put together that information.

Uh.. I still have to ask people despite already using Google Maps. We have so many alleys in my town that don’t get mapped properly in google. I’ve also had bad experiences of Google Maps led me to go through some strange roads. So, yeah, it’s always safe just to ask people.
Hey bro it works all but can a paper map give me every street update every home because here's the thing paper maps from 2005 do not have my road over here they do not exist this entire section of my land of my entire neighborhood does not exist on paper maps it's all farmland
GPS. Many more people used GPS, but it's expensive to buy, expensive to upgrade. Stupid Garmin made it ridiculously expensive to upgrade just the software map. Google Maps came free with cell phones and updates constantly for free.
One time, over 5 years ago, there was a time my dad put us on a road that he thought was supposed to take us to a town closer to our home. However, it actually took us to the northern part of my state well over an hour away, nowhere close to home. Ironically, I knew we were going the wrong way pretty quickly since Google has the offline basic map even when you have no cell signal. I decided to say nothing though because I love rides. I am being serious.
Even though one may know the route to their workplace, using Google Maps daily to get there might just save you from getting stuck in a jam that you wouldn't know about otherwise.
Other than navigation, I'm using google maps to see how life would be different if I lived in the U.S instead of a sh*t-hole 3rd world country in the middle east that have no civil rights.

Even better than the GPS directions is the amazing API, which allows websites and app devs access to those same capabilities, accelerating growth and adoption far beyond apple's proprietary mindset.
Apple’s main focus has always been the US market, and that has always been their down side to exponential growth beyond what they have seen. Though now they are making effort to defuse that focus, they have to do a better job.
@Dandy Honestly I mean thats just splitting hairs. The title perfectly explains what its about.

I remember using google maps for the first time around 2006. It was clunky but functional. Fast Forward to 2014 and I was able to drop myself back into the street I grew up back in the Philippines and see how much it changed since I left. It also gave birth to one of my favourite online games, Geoguesser!
I remember when I was introduced to Google Maps through the original iPhone and iPhone OS 1.1.3! More specifically, I had a first generation iPod touch as the iPhone wasn't available here at the time and I was a kid who was still learning to use a mobile phone with my Nokia 1112 feature phone. It was cool for me to have a map in the palm of my hand that I could pan around, which was something I couldn't get on my HP iPAQ that was stuck on Windows Mobile 2003 SE. When Apple introduced Apple Maps in iOS 6 and I switched to the official Google Maps app, I had to take some time to get accustomed to navigating it using Google's official UI design instead of Apple's UI. By the time I switched from iOS 7 to Android 4.4, marking the beginning of my use of Android full-time, I was able to seamlessly continue with its preloaded Maps app (preloaded as part of GMS). Today, I use Google Maps not only to get directions, but also get arrival estimates, bus routes, bookmark locations of cool places I want to revisit, as well as use Street View and bookmark locations of old buildings that I use as inspiration for some of my projects.
@@JulezWinnfield You could argue that the excessive battery drain caused by google maps, will cause the battery to chemically age faster, reducing it’s effective capacity. Which ultimately reduces the phone’s resale value. So yes the financial value of the battery is affected by google maps. :)
We need dark mode app wide in Google maps asap. A dark mode is kind of their when navigation is on, and if the sun has set in your location. And if you have an oled display, save your battery with black color schemed dark mode.
@@lyhthegreat sure it does. You can literally save the maps of your destination beforehand, when your signal is good (and download speeds as well) you get the location and the app calculates how quickly you'll probably go (including speed limits on "no signal roads"), and judge arrival time. It' kind of scary, actually.
Back in the 90s as a poor student I could only dream of getting a gps sat nav system for the car. Was only with my first smartphone in 2012 that I could finally get such a feature in a car.
@@Jenacide when I first saw this in the early to mid 90s they were about $1000 in Australia and they weren’t portable, you had to install them in dash.
I remember one time before Google Maps was a phone app, I used it to navigate from my work location to a small town I never had been before to pick up a friend who was in a movie shoot. It was dense thick fog (visibility was about 20 ft), and it got dark early, and I had to print out each leg of the route on paper. I used the turn by turn directions to reset my trip odometer between every leg of the trip through the thick fog to tell me when I was about to come up to a country road intersection. This went on for an hour. Amazingly, I made the trip without getting lost, and the legs of the map were dead on accurate in terms of the distance. From that day forward, Google Maps became my goto for navigation. The only other map application I maintain on my phone is HERE We Go, as it proved its worth during a severe rainstorm, and some mobile towers went offline along the train line, and there was a real possibility of having to get off the train at a station I've never been at. The HERE app allows you to store the map of an entire region and just operate from the phone's GPS without the need of mobile data. Google Maps did not have that ability at the time. I think HERE We Go is a great hedge for those emergency situations where mobile data become unusable, or even travelling in other countries.
They forgot to mention that everytime we answered a "Not a robot" recaptcha we help google train it's AI to recognize more and more signs so that google maps could be more accurate...
I’m so grateful for Google maps. I had no idea what to do before this application was created. If only someone had of thought of the idea of printing this type of information on a foldable sheet of paper. I guess we’ll never know.
COVID thought it won by restricting my travel. But little does it know I've traveled to Egypt, Indonesia, Israel and Brazil in just the past few months. Via Google Maps street view.
One of the key problem I faced with Google Map is that the map doesnt orientate properly and it keeps rotating all over the place as I used. Paper map is easier to use in that sense. I use it for walking
U just don't know how to use it. You can click the compass and it will reset the orientation. You think a billion dollar company would noy think about that problem long long ago?
I am a truck driver, I deliver brand new vehicles, I can’t tell you how many times google maps has saved from getting stuck in places just because people give us wrong information on where to go to unload the cars! I am able to “double check” if the dealer has enough space to fit the rig, how tight the turns are going to be, etc. Now a days I just use it for any general search!

Also....the GPS used on Google maps is controlled by the Air Force from a few military bases in Colorado. These Air Force bases are now part of the Space Force. I visited Peterson and Schriever just before the covid shutdowns. I'm stationed at FE Warren.
I love using street view for looking at houses where my family grew up. However, I wish some roads were updated regularly. Some views are from 2007 and very low quality.
Also worth mentioning is the rise of GPS & devices like Garmin. I clearly recall my first road trip. I had to learn how to integrate a GPS into my driving but that was easy. The drop in stress level was profound. I quickly became more adventurous in what I was willing to attempt and I have never looked back....

Uh.. I still have to ask people despite already using Google Maps. We have so many alleys in my town that don’t get mapped properly in google. I’ve also had bad experiences of Google Maps led me to go through some strange roads. So, yeah, it’s always safe just to ask people.
I still do this actually, when my phone died
Hell no. I hated getting lost. I talk to the people more efficiently when I’m not lost!
Hey bro it works all but can a paper map give me every street update every home because here's the thing paper maps from 2005 do not have my road over here they do not exist this entire section of my land of my entire neighborhood does not exist on paper maps it's all farmland
Lol I remember when my parents had one of those big gps devices that you put in the car. Kind of amazing to see how far technology has advanced.
All privacy issues aside, there's no denying what Google has been able to accomplish with technology is very impressive.
my mom still uses them
@@aureliotomasturbao All because of data. We could go farther if we weren't so regulated. That's where ethics come in.
Google maps are like 10 years behind on the images around my home

@@pooljunki1 I think Google will calculate ROI of all updates
i'm in the suburbs and on main roads its a year or 2 old, but residential streets are between 4-7 years old.
@Jj return of investment
Uh, Google Maps has been gigantic for years...
....because we always get lost
GPS. Many more people used GPS, but it's expensive to buy, expensive to upgrade. Stupid Garmin made it ridiculously expensive to upgrade just the software map. Google Maps came free with cell phones and updates constantly for free.
One time, over 5 years ago, there was a time my dad put us on a road that he thought was supposed to take us to a town closer to our home. However, it actually took us to the northern part of my state well over an hour away, nowhere close to home. Ironically, I knew we were going the wrong way pretty quickly since Google has the offline basic map even when you have no cell signal. I decided to say nothing though because I love rides. I am being serious.
Even though one may know the route to their workplace, using Google Maps daily to get there might just save you from getting stuck in a jam that you wouldn't know about otherwise.
Google maps has literally changed my life and I use it everyday to this day.
Other than navigation, I’m using Google maps for virtual vacation:’))
Other than navigation, I'm using google maps to see how life would be different if I lived in the U.S instead of a sh*t-hole 3rd world country in the middle east that have no civil rights.
@@jammer1993 which country do you live in?
@@darkecho4584 Egypt
@@jammer1993 Same I do 😄 I live in Argentina. Sometimes I see different parts of the USA and Europe to see what is the lifestyle of first world countries. Google Maps is a really useful tool 🌎
@@GUSTA99X lucky you my brother live in Haiti where civil unrest all of the time I'm pretty sure am use to massacres and people flying and dead bodies all over the street so.
Even better than the GPS directions is the amazing API, which allows websites and app devs access to those same capabilities, accelerating growth and adoption far beyond apple's proprietary mindset.
The fact that you didn't leave out arguing with spouses makes this journalism absolutely credible.
HANDS DOWN the MOST USEFUL APP
Apple’s main focus has always been the US market, and that has always been their down side to exponential growth beyond what they have seen. Though now they are making effort to defuse that focus, they have to do a better job.
As someone who uses Google Maps everytime I move around, a world without it would be much much more difficult!
"Rise of google maps"
It's been raised since 2010 lol
And this video explains all that.........
it should be "How google maps rised since 2010"
@Dandy Honestly I mean thats just splitting hairs. The title perfectly explains what its about. If I watched a video about "the rise of genghis khan" I'd understand that it'd be the backstory behind genghis khan and his empire. I'm sure there are countless relevant examples of this, and if you don't understand my point let me know and I'll easily find one for you.
The proper title should be "The dominance of google maps"
13:01 The moment where Google Earth is a competitor to Google..
Google maps and Waze are amazing tbh
Gave apple maps a chance a few times but there's just no comparison
Google earth in VR is amazing
Use Waze as testing ground: brilliant!
I remember using google maps for the first time around 2006. It was clunky but functional. Fast Forward to 2014 and I was able to drop myself back into the street I grew up back in the Philippines and see how much it changed since I left. It also gave birth to one of my favourite online games, Geoguesser!
Rogue engineer, the scapegoat of the tech world lol
Still remember when I used MapQuest and print out the navigation. LOL

It was like 15 years back... It's not that hard to imagine
@@matematikbilgini7288 what?
@@tammewar26 That's bot, it just spamming everywhere on this comment. Just report it.
Imagine a day where Google Earth successfully makes the whole world in 3D through satellite images.
Navigation of the future.
Who remembers A to Z's? So glad I never have to use those again.
I remember when I was introduced to Google Maps through the original iPhone and iPhone OS 1.1.3! More specifically, I had a first generation iPod touch as the iPhone wasn't available here at the time and I was a kid who was still learning to use a mobile phone with my Nokia 1112 feature phone. It was cool for me to have a map in the palm of my hand that I could pan around, which was something I couldn't get on my HP iPAQ that was stuck on Windows Mobile 2003 SE. When Apple introduced Apple Maps in iOS 6 and I switched to the official Google Maps app, I had to take some time to get accustomed to navigating it using Google's official UI design instead of Apple's UI. By the time I switched from iOS 7 to Android 4.4, marking the beginning of my use of Android full-time, I was able to seamlessly continue with its preloaded Maps app (preloaded as part of GMS). Today, I use Google Maps not only to get directions, but also get arrival estimates, bus routes, bookmark locations of cool places I want to revisit, as well as use Street View and bookmark locations of old buildings that I use as inspiration for some of my projects.
Google Maps is such a blessing for introvert.
Google maps is essential I can't go no where without it
I hate how quickly my phone battery depreciates when I use Google maps.
Your batteries financial value is affected by its usage?
@@JulezWinnfield lol
@@JulezWinnfield You could argue that the excessive battery drain caused by google maps, will cause the battery to chemically age faster, reducing it’s effective capacity. Which ultimately reduces the phone’s resale value. So yes the financial value of the battery is affected by google maps. :)
We need dark mode app wide in Google maps asap. A dark mode is kind of their when navigation is on, and if the sun has set in your location. And if you have an oled display, save your battery with black color schemed dark mode.
Really? I would check that phone instead to see what the issue is.
I use Google maps all the time for travel and it only has been frustrating once to use it.
If only Google Maps existed in the 80s, Mark Thacther wouldn't have been lost.
google maps don't really work if you're in remote places with no signal like forests.
@@lyhthegreat sure it does. You can literally save the maps of your destination beforehand, when your signal is good (and download speeds as well) you get the location and the app calculates how quickly you'll probably go (including speed limits on "no signal roads"), and judge arrival time. It' kind of scary, actually.
google maps has never let me down whenever i need accurate and quick paths to my destination :)
It lets me down about 90% of the time.
I have been using Google Maps for years and don't have any complaints against the app and will continue to use it when traveling.
Back in the 90s as a poor student I could only dream of getting a gps sat nav system for the car. Was only with my first smartphone in 2012 that I could finally get such a feature in a car.
noice
I remember them being pretty cheap.
@@Jenacide when I first saw this in the early to mid 90s they were about $1000 in Australia and they weren’t portable, you had to install them in dash.
I remember one time before Google Maps was a phone app, I used it to navigate from my work location to a small town I never had been before to pick up a friend who was in a movie shoot. It was dense thick fog (visibility was about 20 ft), and it got dark early, and I had to print out each leg of the route on paper. I used the turn by turn directions to reset my trip odometer between every leg of the trip through the thick fog to tell me when I was about to come up to a country road intersection. This went on for an hour. Amazingly, I made the trip without getting lost, and the legs of the map were dead on accurate in terms of the distance. From that day forward, Google Maps became my goto for navigation.
The only other map application I maintain on my phone is HERE We Go, as it proved its worth during a severe rainstorm, and some mobile towers went offline along the train line, and there was a real possibility of having to get off the train at a station I've never been at. The HERE app allows you to store the map of an entire region and just operate from the phone's GPS without the need of mobile data. Google Maps did not have that ability at the time. I think HERE We Go is a great hedge for those emergency situations where mobile data become unusable, or even travelling in other countries.

"The billion dollar code" netflix Doco brought me here...
They forgot to mention that everytime we answered a "Not a robot" recaptcha we help google train it's AI to recognize more and more signs so that google maps could be more accurate...
if it's training that than how does it know if you got the question right
@@CringePoop crowdsourcing, there is accuracy in numbers.
Used to use Garmin.
As a commuter I can attest that I will never use anything but Waze to navigate traffic
Most of the features of Waze have been in Google Maps for years...
@Tom yes I know. I was just telling the OP that the features of Waze have been carried over to Google Maps for years now lol
Google Maps is the ultimate road map that always makes updates. Remember when Apple Maps first came out it reminded me what Google Maps we're in 2005.
I’m so grateful for Google maps.
I had no idea what to do before this application was created.
If only someone had of thought of the idea of printing this type of information on a foldable sheet of paper.
I guess we’ll never know.
Wow cnbc with intriguing content for people under the age of 60?! Way to finally adapt guys!
People who disliked still use paper maps
Or they just think google is evil.
I use paper maps i don't need to be tracked.
I love Google Maps, because I love mapping and cartography, and it's the career field I have chosen for myself.
"A very detailed map" Me: *laughs in Open Street Map*
Heading over to maps and earth right now
COVID thought it won by restricting my travel. But little does it know I've traveled to Egypt, Indonesia, Israel and Brazil in just the past few months. Via Google Maps street view.
One of the key problem I faced with Google Map is that the map doesnt orientate properly and it keeps rotating all over the place as I used. Paper map is easier to use in that sense. I use it for walking
U just don't know how to use it.
You can click the compass and it will reset the orientation. You think a billion dollar company would noy think about that problem long long ago?
@@mr.emsrubin830 I don't know, it just didn't orientate well.
@@mr.emsrubin830 In walking mode, the map does rotate around weirdly.
Google is the greatest company of all time
I am a truck driver, I deliver brand new vehicles, I can’t tell you how many times google maps has saved from getting stuck in places just because people give us wrong information on where to go to unload the cars! I am able to “double check” if the dealer has enough space to fit the rig, how tight the turns are going to be, etc. Now a days I just use it for any general search!
Bitcoin peaked at a new yearly high on today after the uncertainty of the US elections grew. Nevertheless, Bitcoin started recovering almost immediately and shot back Up above $19000. According to popular Bitcoin Analyst Mrs Catherine woods this was Bitcoin highest close ever" and the highest since January 2018, the technical aspects indicate that Bitcoin needs to overcome the resistance lines at $22500 and $21600 to paint new records. In case of breakdown, the support levels that could contain its drop lie at $16600 and $19400, so Mrs Catherine woods warns newbies and hodlers to be careful as the picture is not clear yet and for now you should also back up your hodling method with a trading strategy, for me i advice you multiply the little you have with Mrs Catherine Woods's strategy, i was able to make 7btc with 2btc in 1month with Mrs Catherine woods strategy.

Love Google Maps!
So many other companies have piggybacked off Google maps technology it's amazing

CNBC makes pretty high quality videos
Conveniently left out the fact that Keyhole (Google Earth) was a CIA company, completely funded by In-Q-Tel ;)
I was going to comment the same.
Still cia.

You can't be surprised, though. The government wants to track everyone.
Gigi Duru Goog Maps was a diff startup that got hijacked by FrooGle.
Also....the GPS used on Google maps is controlled by the Air Force from a few military bases in Colorado.
These Air Force bases are now part of the Space Force.

Google map shoud do better here in Korea. Naver map and Kakao map are the two dominant movers
Garmin has left the chat.
Garmin has left the planet.
I love using street view for looking at houses where my family grew up.
However, I wish some roads were updated regularly. Some views are from 2007 and very low quality.
I'm in my mid 20s and I remember having to print out directions to get around!
Gmail,google maps,UA-cam can’t live without them
I highly doubt apple maps is even considered competition
Also worth mentioning is the rise of GPS & devices like Garmin. I clearly recall my first road trip. I had to learn how to integrate a GPS into my driving but that was easy. The drop in stress level was profound. I quickly became more adventurous in what I was willing to attempt and I have never looked back....
Let's all never forget the GPS pioneers of the X-Y Generation: Garmin, Magellan, and Nextar.
