      Tell me you haven’t read the article without telling me you haven’t read the article.

      Also you seem to have no clue what you’re talking about.

      I don’t use Google. I haven’t used Google in… I dunno, a decade? They offer no services that are better than the competition. In fact, the only quality thing they ever made was Google maps.

        And now openstreetmaps is just as good – worse for car, better for biking and walking, really depends for public transit

          worse for car,

          Hard disagree. Find an error in Google Maps and submit a correction… My house lives on one such error. I’ve submitted probably 200-300 attempts to fix it… Google Maps just refuses. My address is fixed/correct in literally every other map software out there.

          Google maps sucks if they can’t even be bothered to have an accurate map. People get sent 20 miles away if they strictly type my street address into google.

              Driving data is nice, but actually having correct addresses is way more important than knowing if there’s a bit of traffic.
