Google Maps is the world's number 1 navigation app

Despite criticism for adding more and more features, Google Maps continues to grow in popularity. It has long been the world's leading navigation app, and the latest data shared by Google gives us a clear picture of that.

Google Maps celebrated its 20th anniversary, and Google took the opportunity to reveal that in 2024 alone the app had "given directions for a trillion kilometers."

When the discussion about the best navigation arises, critics of Google Maps often argue that it is outdated and sometimes inaccurate, citing recent tragic cases.

However, Google claims to perform 100 million map updates every day, which indicates ongoing efforts to improve the application.

According to the company, the number of users contributing information to Maps has surpassed 500 million. These users post comments, photos, ratings, and traffic reports, helping others navigate the app more easily.

Incident reporting on Google Maps has brought the app closer to what Waze offers, fueling speculation that Google is planning to merge the two apps. However, that is not going to happen. /Telegraph/
