According to reports, Google Maps is the world's most used navigation app on both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The tech giant recently shared numbers to prove just how popular its navigation app really is.

As per Mountain View-based search, Google Maps has over 2 billion users - making it part of a select group of products with similar milestones which include Google Chrome, YouTube and Android.

In addition to the users, Google Maps has 2 billion monthly users and 10 billion downloads on the Play Store. It also dominates the Apple store, despite of a native rival (Apple Maps) coming pre-installed on iPhones.

The other alternative to Google Maps is Waze. However, this navigation app is also a Google-owned product, and as of late 2022 figures, Waze had around 151 million active users. While the numbers could have improved since then, Waze still remains significantly smaller than Google Maps.

While reports suggest that Apple Maps could be bigger than Waze, Apple has not released any official figures.
