Posse vs Google Maps

Everyone like to get their friends recommendations of their favorite restaurants and other places. Use the Posse app to follow all of your friends and other people that have good taste in places. Get the inside scoop of the hottest places with the best food from the people you trust the most, your friends.

The Posse app has a large network of restaurants and other businesses in many large cities for you to find your favorites and hidden gems you may not have known about. Use the Posse database of places to choose a new favorite or find something you like when in a new town.

The Posse app allows you to collect and display your favorite places, and lets you share those collections in a way your friends will enjoy. You can make different types of collections depending on your interests, if you are into seafood restaurants or want to give info on the best stores in your neighborhood, posse gives you the power to share.

The Posse app has a customer loyalty type program built into it. When you visit your favorite places often, the Posse app gives business owners the ability to reward their customers for supporting their stores.

You can download offline data per city or parts of cities if you live in an especially large city, but not for states or countries. Points of Interests are generally more relevant & current than the typical stand alone GPS unit.

Recent updates have made it so you can label a place instead of being stuck with some address or GPS coordinate and forgetting what it represents. Saved places show as stars and are all on one layer as long as you're logged in. There is also the ability to create maps (parallel to groups) for things you might not want to see or have show up all the time whenever you're using google maps from day to day.

This feature is highly helpful for planning, even if you're a person who likes to wing it.

You save the location of your car and easily find it again

Nearby my house, there is major road construction in progress. Apple maps didn’t show this at all, but google maps did. There was also a new, small road that was finished around 3 days ago. Google maps shows this road. Apple maps still hasn’t shown the major construction.

Asides from the stock Apple Maps app, Google Maps is the most commonly supported 3rd party map. 3rd party apps often have links for directions, Google Maps is usually an option whereas other 3rd party GPS apps are not.

This is great for night driving or even when going through tunnels as the map will be more visible for low light situations.

Google Maps can now search for and add a route for a second location on the way to the primary location that you are going to and have already routed. Note that it cannot do a third or true multi routing like the desktop webapp can.
