Google maps has come a long way over the years. Use to pale in comparisonto a stand alone gps unit. Now on par and even better in some aspects to a stand alone unit. Update: Recent update 03/2022 is garbage to be exact. Wrong directions, telling me to Turn down roads that don't exist. Checking places along route and app completely exits itself. Too many people have complained about the recent series of updates and Google does nothing to fix it yet. Do better.
