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.

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