Google Maps is a web mapping platform and consumer application offered by Google. It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive panoramic views of streets (Street View), real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bike, air (in beta) and public transportation. As of 2022, Google Maps was being used by over 1 billion people every month around the world. Google Maps began as a C++ desktop program developed by brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen at Where 2 Technologies. In October 2004, the company was acquired by Google, which converted it into a web application. After additional acquisitions of a geospatial data visualization company and a real time traffic analyzer, Google Maps was launched in February 2005. The service's front end utilizes JavaScript, XML, and Ajax. Google Maps offers an API that allows maps to be embedded on third-party websites, and offers a locator for businesses and other organizations in numerous countries around the world. Google Map Maker allowed users to collaboratively expand and update the service's mapping worldwide but was discontinued from March 2017. However, crowdsourced contributions to Google Maps were not discontinued as the company announced those features would be transferred to the Google Local Guides program.

A stupid 15 year old who uses google maps as a joke and writes fake and stupid reviews on google maps because he thinks he is being funny yet still gets many upvotes for his reviews because everyone else on the site finds his dumb sense of humor funny. Is usually a high level local guide with hundreds of reviews.
Bro this one guy on google maps has written 300 reviews and all of them are just fucking with people and have no actual substance, he gave the liberty bell 1 star because it was broken, he is such a teenage google maps reviewer.

Someone who is lost but not wanting to be found; may be under the influence of alcohol or street drugs-that for the most part of their time, during the day and night, spend walking city streets of cities in random locations throughout the world using Google Map-particularly, the street level cam option.
Bob was my best friend, until he started spending more time traveling on his computer with Google Map as a Google Map Hobo. He would much rather be "somewhere" else wandering aimlessly in some foreign city, than with me getting drunk in the bar.

When you're so bored that you get out your small ass laptop and find your location in 3D. Google Mapping is a sign of complete utter stupidity.
