"Integrated With Custom WP Plugin"

Was able to use API to integrate Google Places with a location search function built into a custom wordpress plugin for a client's website.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

It was a little difficult tracking down the right product to integrate and easily understanding where to go for integrating with API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Place to Review Online Presence"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

I like the overall UI of Places. It does a great job putting together the important factors you need to show your potential clients/buyers. Google has also done a great job of adding new pieces of content that enhances your profile like specials and posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

I feel they can go even further in enhances google places by helping you push your information to other sources so that agencies don't have to go to third parties. I also don't like that they override some information without your consent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reasonably good solution, although popularity does not equal best solution"
What do you like best about Google Maps Platform?

Reasonably simple, straight forward usage. Not a complex solution. Nice graphical interface with a lot of resources embedded into maps inherent with the fact that many people use google maps. Thus it has many other points of interest, listings, etc. at the user's disposal. Relatively easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Maps Platform?

Usage limits and fees, especially for non-profit clients. Sometimes also a glitch with no solution causes much grief. Does not always work exactly like it should. Because of glitches, had to re-write project to use other mapping solutions, which in fact turned out to be much better. Should have more flexible pricing structures and plans.
