Absolutely indispensable! Use it daily for navigating Mumbai traffic. The real-time updates are mostly accurate and save me a lot of time. Finding new restaurants is also very easy with the explore feature.

Very helpful for planning trips and finding my way around unfamiliar cities in India. Offline maps are a lifesaver in areas with bad network. Sometimes the walking directions take weird routes, but driving navigation is great.

Reliable and feature-rich. Love the integration with public transport timings in Delhi Metro. Sometimes it drains the battery quickly during long navigation sessions, but overall it's the best maps app available.

It's good, but sometimes the location accuracy is off, especially in dense areas of Hyderabad. Also, finding specific building entrances can be tricky. Needs improvement in pinpointing exact locations.

Fantastic app for road trips! Used it extensively while driving from Bangalore to Goa. Accurate routes, traffic warnings, and finding petrol pumps or restaurants along the way was seamless. Highly recommended.
