   What algorithm does Google Maps use?

   • 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). A graph data structure is essentially a collection of nodes that are defined by edges and vertices. Well, that was enlightening, right?

   Is Google Maps a Dijkstra algorithm?

   • None of the sources are google official websites. As was mentioned before Google never publicly confirmed that it was indeed Dijkstra algorithm. Google map is using some very sophisticated algorithm. It might be any heuristics such as A*; but, it is definitely not Dijkstra's algorithm. My finding;
