1. Taking up 100 times less space on your device than the full Google Maps app, Google Maps Go is designed to run smoothly on devices with limited memory and on unreliable networks without compromising speed to provide your location, real-time traffic updates, directions, and train, bus, and city transit information.
2. Google Maps Go is the lightweight Progressive Web App variation of the original Google Maps app.
3. This version requires Chrome (if you do not wish to install Chrome, please use in your browser instead).
4. You can even search and find information about millions of places, such as phone numbers and addresses.
1. No more accidental closures!!Effectively requires the additional 'navigation for Google Maps Go' if you aren't going to be looking at your screen while not knowing where you are going so you can try to figure out when to turn.
2. Also the navigation icon disappears every other time I use it making it difficult to know where exactly I am on the map.Stars, want to go, favorites, labels - these are good features in Google maps and i use them extensively.
3. I love that it is lighter than Google Maps and does not need a speedy WiFi connection and it doesn't eat up your memory.
4. I need to be able to hide those too.Google Maps has seriously changed my life.
5. I WANT the other Google maps app which I cannot now find on my apps list in all 3 locations.. However, playstore says I have it.
6. for example, showing exact lane your in and what lane to be in, showing more stores on the map, maybe saying "turn now" when you are right on the turn instead of "in 1/4 mile turn".My Pixel 3a is starting to show its age unfortunately, and with that the main app makes my phone extremely laggy and causes other background apps to freeze or crash.
7. I will be uninstalling it ASAP so it stops launching in place of the real Google Maps.Functions well enough, but there's no way to sign out of your Google account like there is on regular Maps.
8. That Google Maps GO is awful.App works ok for SG21 but features that were present in the SG9 version are not there.
9. Not sure why Google is introducing this web-based version of their Maps app, but it is nowhere close to Google Maps.
10. It is the antithesis of Google maps in being user-friendly.
11. It's what Google maps would have been had it been around in 1999.
