Google Maps is a web-based mapping platform and consumer service provided by Google that offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360 degree interactive panoramic views of streets, real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bike, air, and public transportation. For businesses, the platform integrates with Google Business Profile to manage local search visibility, allowing organizations to list physical locations, respond to customer reviews, and analyze engagement metrics such as calls and direction requests. Its business model centers on enhancing Google's search ecosystem and generating revenue through local discovery ads and its Google Maps Platform API, which enables developers to embed location intelligence into third-party applications.
