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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’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.
I just wish they would include toll prices, and let user set a price limit to distance into calculating directions. Sometimes avoiding tolls isn't always economical , and travel time may not be worth the savings.
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 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!
Its hilarious to see how AOL fall so hard. They had a lead on a lot, smh they should be ashamed of themselves
Still remember when I used MapQuest and print out the navigation. LOL
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.
HANDS DOWN the MOST USEFUL APP
Rogue engineer, the scapegoat of the tech world lol
As someone who uses Google Maps everytime I move around, a world without it would be much much more difficult!
Remember the old days when you were losing yourself in a city and you had to ask ACTUAL PEOPLE to help you? It had its magic.
"Rise of google maps"
It's been raised since 2010 lol
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
Google maps has literally changed my life and I use it everyday to this day.
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.
Wow cnbc with intriguing content for people under the age of 60?! Way to finally adapt guys!
Wanna hear a joke? Apple maps.
I really enjoy these videos you guys post.

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.
Gmail,google maps,RUclips can’t live without them
Use Waze as testing ground: brilliant!
Google maps is essential I can't go no where without it
"Google Earth" as a Google competitor? Yeah right. 😂
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.
Google earth in VR is amazing
Google maps and Waze are amazing tbh
Gave apple maps a chance a few times but there's just no comparison
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.
Imagine one day you wake up to the following nightmare: *"Google will discontinue Google Maps on XX/XX/XXX"*
🤣 🤣 🤣
That happened 4 years ago. "
This page can't load Google Maps correctly. For development purpose only."
They did discontinue their stock portfolios- that was a big loss to me. I now use Yahoo's but it's not as good.
There are alternatives.
@@Prodigious1One Free alternatives?
@@nakayle yes, like Map Quest, Bing maps, and Yahoo maps.
"The billion dollar code" netflix Doco brought me here...
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.
In 2013 it was revealed that Backdoors are still open.
Same with fb.....previous name.was Lifelog.
Culinary Institute or America?
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.
I visited Peterson and Schriever just before the covid shutdowns.
I'm stationed at FE Warren.
CNBC makes pretty high quality videos
Who remembers A to Z's? So glad I never have to use those again.
Heading over to maps and earth right now
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
Stop telling me to head East or head West Google: i cant SEE the sun at night ffs !!! 😂
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.
Google Maps has Saved my life. thanks
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.
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.
Love Google Maps!
Very good journalism
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 use Google maps all the time for travel and it only has been frustrating once to use it.
1:09 let's just pretend we didn't see the Plane
I got a billion dollar advice for Google maps, add truck routing to maps. Youre welcome. I take checks too 😉
Who else just randomly looks at your own house on Google maps Satellite view?
I can see my self in Steet View
I can see my house in Google map lol
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.
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.
my friend found 2 sleath bombers using Google maps LMAO
Soon: "before your next direction, here is a word from our sponsor..." "This left turn is brought to you by..."
I just wish they would include toll prices, and let user set a price limit to distance into calculating directions. Sometimes avoiding tolls isn't always economical , and travel time may not be worth the savings.
Being right there, in the heart of it all, you would think..,.... 😜
Let's all never forget the GPS pioneers of the X-Y Generation: Garmin, Magellan, and Nextar.
How and why is this a 15min segment?
Proceeds to click. 🤷🏿♀️
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.
