Using the service

• Web browser interface: Yes
• Supported browsers:
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • Opera
• Application to install: No
• Designed for use on mobile devices: Yes
• Differences between the mobile and desktop service: Google Maps Platform provides equivalent mapping, places, and routing capabilities across mobile and desktop. Native mobile apps (Android/iOS) have dedicated SDKs, whilst web uses the JavaScript API. The most notable difference is that turn-by-turn Navigation is exclusive to mobile apps—there's no web equivalent. Web Service APIs like Routes, Geocoding, and Places return identical data regardless of platform. The JavaScript API works on mobile browsers, though native SDKs offer better performance. Billing is consistent across platforms. In summary, core functionality and data quality are the same; the main distinction is Navigation's mobile-only availability.
• Service interface: Yes
• User support accessibility: EN 301 549
• Description of service interface: Web Browser and Mobile - Android and IOS
• Accessibility standards: EN 301 549
• Accessibility testing: You can use a screen reader, keyboard shortcuts, and other features to make your Google Maps experience more accessible.; https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6396990
• API: Yes
• What users can and can't do using the API: Google Maps Platform is entirely API-based - all services are accessed programmatically via REST APIs or platform-specific SDKs (JavaScript, Android, iOS).; ; Setup; Users provision and configure services through the Google Cloud Console, not via API. This includes creating projects, enabling APIs, generating API keys, and setting usage quotas. API keys can be restricted by platform (web domains, IP addresses, mobile app identifiers) for security.; ; What users can do via API; Once configured, users can programmatically access all mapping functionality: displaying interactive or static maps, geocoding addresses, calculating routes and distances, searching for places, validating addresses, and retrieving environmental data (air quality, pollen, weather). Mobile SDKs additionally support turn-by-turn navigation.; ; Making changes; Runtime customisation is extensive - users can style maps, add markers and overlays, adjust map behaviour, and filter API responses. Cloud-based map styling allows visual changes without code updates. The Maps Datasets API enables uploading custom geospatial data.; ; Limitations; Administrative functions (billing, API enablement, key management) require the Cloud Console or Cloud APIs - not Maps Platform APIs directly. Usage is subject to rate limits and quotas. Some features have regional restrictions; for example, Address Validation isn't available in the UK due to data licensing constraints.
• API documentation: Yes
• API documentation formats:
  • HTML
  • PDF
• API sandbox or test environment: Yes
• Customisation available: Yes
• Description of customisation: What can be customised; Maps can be extensively styled - colours, visibility of features (roads, landmarks, water, transit), labels, and iconography. Users can add custom markers, overlays, polygons, and polylines. Data-driven styling enables dynamic visualisation based on datasets. API responses can be filtered to return only required fields, optimising performance and cost.; ; How users customise; Cloud-based map styling (via Google Cloud Console) allows visual customisation without code changes - styles are linked to a Map ID and apply automatically. Alternatively, JSON style arrays can be applied directly in code for programmatic control. Custom markers and overlays are added through SDK/API methods. The Maps Datasets API allows uploading proprietary geospatial data for use with data-driven styling.; ; Who can customise; Anyone with appropriate Cloud Console access can create and manage map styles. Developers implement customisations in code using the JavaScript API or mobile SDKs. Administrative customisation (quotas, API restrictions, billing alerts) requires project Owner or Editor roles. Map styles can be shared across teams by referencing common Map IDs.; ; Limitations; Base map data (road networks, place information) cannot be modified - only its visual presentation. Some advanced styling features require specific Map IDs and may incur additional costs.

• Software Security Code of Practice: Yes

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Configuration and change management approach: In Google production environments, software updates are manually vetted to ensure the stability of the system. Changes are then tested and cautiously rolled out to systems. The details vary somewhat depending on the service being considered, but all development work is separated from the operation systems, testing occurs in a multi-staged fashion in both environments and in dedicated test settings. We can share, under NDA, the SOC2 audit report (based on standards from the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board), which describes the change management process. Additionally, changes to code go through a process of code review involving additional engineer(s).
• Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Vulnerability management approach: Google administrates a vulnerability management process that actively scans for security threats using a combination of commercially available and purpose-built in-house tools, intensive-automated and manual penetration efforts, quality assurance processes, software security reviews and external audits. The vulnerability management team is responsible for tracking and following up on vulnerabilities. Once a vulnerability requiring remediation has been identified, it is logged, prioritized according to severity, and assigned an owner. The vulnerability management team tracks and follows up frequently until remediated. Google also maintains relationships with members of the security research community to track issues in Google services and open-source tools.; https://cloud.google.com/security/whitepaper
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: Google’s security monitoring program is focused on information gathered from internal network traffic, employee actions on systems and outside knowledge of vulnerabilities. At many points across our global network, internal traffic is inspected for suspicious behavior, such as the presence of traffic that might indicate botnet connections. Network analysis is supplemented by examining system logs to identify unusual behavior, such as attempted access of customer data. They actively review inbound security reports and monitor public mailing lists, blog posts, and wikis. Automated network analysis helps determine when an unknown threat may exist and escalates to Google security staff.; https://cloud.google.com/security/whitepaper
• Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Incident management approach: We have a rigorous incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems or data. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. Google’s security incident management program is structured around the NIST guidance on handling incidents (NIST SP 800–61). Key staff are trained in forensics and handling evidence in preparation for an event, including the use of third-party and proprietary tools. Testing of incident response plans is performed for key areas, such as systems that store sensitive customer information.; https://cloud.google.com/security/whitepaper
