What's the advantage of using HyperTrack over directly calling Google Map APIs with your own account?

To build ridesharing apps, you must get driver locations from Android/iOS, and use Google Maps API to get routes/ETA/map experience. All the device-to-cloud glue in between is on you. HyperTrack does that.

If your ridesharing app requires getting/managing your driver's location data in the cloud, HyperTrack does that. Google Maps does not.
