With Google Maps, you can easily search for locations. You can also use the app to give you specific directions. That’s not all. It also gives you an actual glimpse of certain places via Street View. The thing is the app mostly relies on Internet connectivity. So you cannot use it that often especially when you’re in a place with very limited access to Wi-Fi or 3G.
