Hello friends,

Which Algorithm Is Used By Google Maps?

Google Maps uses A* algorithm for finding the shortest path and alternates routes in real time. A* algorithm is an advanced form of Breadth first search.It avoids costly path and choose the most promising path.

Google Maps uses Dijkstra's Algorithm [63] of finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent, for example, road networks [64] .

Google Maps essentially uses two Graph algorithms – Dijkstra's algorithm and A* algorithm, to calculate the shortest distance from point A ( Source) to point B ( destination).
