User reviews

Users appreciate that 'Route with Google Maps' is simple, privacy-friendly, open source, and works reliably as a map routing extension on Firefox and related browsers. It effectively replaces older similar add-ons with good basic functionality. However, multiple users highlight that it lacks advanced features like multiple address routing options and an intuitive user interface, with some having trouble locating how to use it. Overall, it fulfills its core purpose but could benefit from feature enhancements for power users.
