I use Google Map API in my company's official website so that our clients easily locate us. This tool is a very affordable, accurate, and widely used map API as compared to others. I can't only customize Google Maps API as per my needs but it gives static, dynamic, and 360° views to my prospects and clients. It also gives real traffic updates when someone wants to visit our office.
Pros
Gives local information
It gets updated very frequently which helps our clients discover the shortest route
I can customize it as per my needs
Is very affordable
Cons
It should be updated more frequently as the route/road changes from time to time
Few remote locations are not covered in Google Map API
At fewer places it shows wrong directions so need to they research on that
Likelihood to Recommend
It is most suited for someone who has a physical office, particularly a retail store which helps them to promote the business locally. I would suggest businessmen should use this tool for promoting their business in a more effective way. It is of least important if you are promoting your business digitally and don't have a physical location.

We use it via developing the code when we are building it from a scratch. It is one of the easiest ways to implement google maps as it contains API keys which is quite convenient as compared to others. Also fetching the API is quite easy in the code we used for displaying locations.
Pros

Features of the API
Accuracy of the results
Cons

Sometimes shows inaccurate location

I used this API in a clone website where we have done the integration of the MAP API which was working quite well. But as soon as it is started working [for] a long time we may face issues while seeing the functionalities were not accurate, so we need to refresh it a couple of times in order to display particular content.
It helps us to implement certain changes in order to build the application and teach the learners how to work on API which is quite good in order to display the maps data which is required for most of the people and showing the information for the same. Google Maps API helps us for implementing certain tasks on the same web application.
Pros
Location accuracy application we used to for displaying current location.
Easiest way to guide the map from one location to another.
Building the scenerio based application which requires accessibility.
Cons
Offline location required for some certain locations
Needs to reduce updates as it is comes from most of the updates.
Maps needs to be accurate in small areas in order to find destination.
Likelihood to Recommend
Maps API requires a sufficient amount of data that needs to be updated time by time also sometimes it throws cors issues while working with the API. It is one of the best platforms in order to implement the application. Also very easy to find the application which requires most of the time.
We have our presence on google maps so it will make it easy for the students and parents to find us on maps and reach us easily. Further when I travel to other cities and states for company work it helps me to find hotels, restaurants and the place where I want to go.
Pros
Very simple UI, easy to use.
You can send your live location to a person who wants to meet you.
You can mark and pin the locations you are travelling regularly.
You can get the code of iframe for any location and embed it into your organization's website also.
Cons
Street view is available for UK and US but not for India I hope they will do it soon
Updates for android devices is more frequent in comparison to IOS devices
