First of all, it's interesting to ask: from where did the idea of developing Google Maps come?

Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, was the first to develop the concept of maps. Sundar Pichai is currently the CEO of Alphabet Inc. Google is a product of Alphabet.

This is a 2004 story. Sundar Pichai, a resident of the United States of America, was required to go out to dinner with his wife. Sundar Pichai directed his wife to the dinner location before leaving the house. He will meet them at the dinner location directly from the office. Anjali Pichai, Sundar Pichai's wife, had arrived for dinner at precisely 8 p.m. Sundar Pichai arrived on time but got lost in the process. That is why he arrived at the seminar at 10:00 a.m. By that time, his wife had fled. Sundar Pichai's wife was enraged with him for missing the program. After a disagreement with his wife, he returned to the office and contemplated what should be done to ensure that no one ever goes astray.

After contemplating for the whole night, the next day, Sundar Pichai shared the idea of maps with the team. Previously, the team had declined to work on this concept. However, he persuaded the crew to create a map after much convincing. Finally, in 2005, Google Maps was introduced in the United States.

Google maps

Firstly, Google acquired Where To? an application, and with the help of this, they tried to make digital maps. Mapquest is another service running at that time.

The issue is that we must constantly refresh it to view maps. Of course, as a private corporation, Google can not expect to collect all of this data independently. For its basic geological map, Google relies on its Base Map Partner Program, which collects information from a range of credible organizations, such as the US Geological Survey, Forest Service, city and state councils, and so forth, using them to construct everything from massive freeways to remote lanes, stitching them together into the comprehensive digital image that we call Google Maps.

As part of its bigger Web application, Google Maps includes the following services:

A route planner provides guidance for automobiles, cyclists, pedestrians, and public transportation users who wish to travel from one area to another.

The Google Maps application programming interface (API) enables Web site owners to include Google Maps in a proprietary site, such as a real estate directory or community service portal. Google Maps for Mobile provides motorists with a location service that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) location of the mobile device (if available) in conjunction with data from wireless and cellular networks. Google Street View enables users to explore and move through horizontal and vertical panoramic street-level photos of cities worldwide. Supplemental services provide amateur astronomers with photographs of the moon, Mars, and the skies.

Google came up with the amazing idea of street view.

"Street View" is a virtual representation of our surroundings on Google Maps, consisting of millions of panoramic images. Google and contributors provide content for Street View. Through our joint efforts, we empower people worldwide to virtually experience the planet.

From where did Google earn its map?

Google Maps is a very useful tool for navigating our world. Like most of Google's products, Google Maps is monetized by advertising. Businesses can put their advertisements on Google Maps and even create profiles that make their businesses more easily discoverable.

Additionally, Google Maps charges businesses for using its APIs for navigation, tracking, and mapping.
