Uber relies on Google Maps for its business and spent $58 million on it over three years

filed to go public on Thursday, and its paperwork shows that Uber spent $58 million on Google Maps between 2016 and 2018.If Google and Uber were to end their agreement, this could harm Uber's business because other mapping services may be expensive, inferior, or just not exist.

Still, Uber writes: If Google Maps suddenly gets less reliable, doesn't provide adequate support, or hikes prices, it might have to lean on an alternative solution.

Just got home taking Uber... his Uber mapping was not at all better than Waze. Plus, no helpful alerts. That saying, Waze need to make their servers faster and more reliable in connecting and avoiding freezing along routes.

There are many better options that Google Maps. Waze comes immediately to mind.
