"Best Map integration Api"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

Google map provides street view with panorma with its latest feature you can easily get real view of your area which i like best it gives you clear image about the direction you should move. Heatmaps are also there which represent areas geospatial data which represent area with different color and points.And most you can use this api free for some period for your testing as it provide free trial after that it will take charges. Their are also mapping animation like cars, roads, parks, businesses etc for easy view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Places API"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

It is significantly easier for developers to add a location aspect to their applications with minimal effort.

Speed and accuracy are also very good.

Using API you can customize the city, zoom level, and add an additional filter as well.

We can search for any type of location, including street addresses and exact landmarks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

While using google place we will get some locations suggestion and that is not editable.

Apart from this, I didn't get any point to dislike this awesome API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Tool But Documention Lacking"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

Google Maps are, in my opinion, the most widely-recognized maps in the United States. Access to maps through an API is a great tool for the developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

Terminology and documentation can be confusing. The web-based documentation can often be circular. i.e. A link on one page leads to some information that links back to your original one. The "Wait how did I find this?" moment seemed to strike often as I was trying to learn the API. The information doesn't seem to be laid out intuitively and, in my opinion, finding crucial information regarding how to use different techniques along with security can be difficult at times.

"Review on Google APIs"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

Google APIs have amazing integration with other services.

It allows me to communicate with other online services.

Google APIs used by third-party to enhance the functionality of already existing services which eventually help me to use these services in my project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

It has no support other than google.

We can not index our stuff because we have no control since it is google's index.

There is no stability of google APIs.

If Google does not make money with API, they just close this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good API Used for tracing and used to find live location."
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

the directions and the sdk guide available for the developers to work on it.It simple as it is.it is very useful for the developers to utilize and implement the map api whether it is android or ios or JavaScript solution is simple and google developer make the sdk and api as easy as they can.the tutorials are provided are easy to understand.they can used for drawing line,distance calculation,route finding,street views and many more to get into it.as simple as if we have a billing account we can able to create it in 5 mins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

Payment and billing can be reduced and free developer support versions can be included.

Every time i try to implement the api i face problem like billing issue or more .after some weeks the trails period or free will be over and it will show developer only mode in the map,provide more and focus on street view map implementation concepts.these and all my dislikes in google map api im sure that the google team will fix it.

"Nifty API with familiar interface to create custom online maps"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

The key winner with the Google Maps API is the all-too-familiar Google Maps interface that we're so accustomed to using their flagship product. It's easy to understand and navigate for users that are not very technologically inclined. Also, there are enough customization capabilities such as custom markers etc. to make it personalized. Also, standard gestures (such as click-to-drag are intuitive). The API is responsive and performant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

The documentation isn't as delightful as I'd want it to be. I wish there were more examples. Ended up relying on online examples and open source implementations to achieve desired goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
