About Google Maps
Google Maps is a popular navigation solution provided by search engine giant Google. The maps tool, used by millions around the world, offers aerial and satellite imagery, street maps and 360° panoramic views of streets. Additionally, one can get real-time traffic conditions and get help with route planning for traveling by foot, car or public transportation.
First launched in 2005, Google Maps is available for web and smartphones. For Android and iOS, Google Maps utilizes the Global Positioning System (GPS) to help users with current location and direct to a destination. Currently, Google Maps has over 1 billion active users each month. It further boasts of 99% coverage of the world and is built with data for over 200 countries. There are more than 25 million updates daily from over 1,000 sources for accurate and real-time location information.
Google Street View enables users to view and navigate through panoramic street level images of various locations around the world. Google overlays its Street View images on top of its map. It will show road signs and business names as well. There is satellite view which is a collaboration with Google Earth, to show high-resolution photographs taken by satellites.
Users can customize their maps with custom markers, lines, colors, polygons, and images. One can create custom maps and use zoom, pinch, rotate, and tilt to explore maps. Apparently, Google Maps is most used for not only locating addresses but also for monitoring real time traffic information. Users can navigate roads and know which lane would be faster with turn-by-turn navigation. Users can also use their voice to find information or say commands.
On the Google Maps website, users can search locations by inputting a business name, area name, city, or pin code. The drop down below search will show you best results to choose. If you need to get directions, you can choose a starting map and destination and get results that show the distance, time and other related information. You will see delays and traffic congestion in your area. You can get directions for walking, car, train or bicycle. Additionally, you can search a restaurant, hotel, coffee joint, gas station, hospital, parking lot or post office in a particular area. As you enter the area or destination on map, you will see the map showing you the streets, landmark buildings, popular locations and others. Users can save a map into a list to access later. The map can also be shared through a link or through an embed code for websites and blogs.

How can I get an address fixed on Google Maps when I’ve gone through the process of Suggesting an Edit and Google replies that the change has been made but it hasn’t?
