Maps: display map tiles, search places, routing between points, real-time traffic. Scale: B+ users, M+ places, global road network.
Key challenges: tile rendering at multiple zoom levels, efficient routing algorithms, real-time traffic aggregation, offline maps. Read-heavy with periodic bulk updates (new roads, businesses).
