For whatever reason maps is my go to search when using Google. I often just want a bar or restaurant website without dealing with Google search and maps is much faster
I wish there were better alternatives. I really dislike what maps has become. It used to be streamlined. Now in most views i get so many POI listings (ads) on the map its cluttered and confusing. There's that weird bottom shelf thing that pops up that I have to swipe down... I tried using Here Maps but it once let me to a dead end thinking it was a road and it has this weird bug in navigation mode where it blurs half of display. I opened a ticket with them months ago and they never solved it.
Funny enough, Google is being sued in the EU right now by commercial weather service providers precisely because Google is showing their own weather results at the top of any other possible search result, which they consider unfair competition. Recent EU legislation restricts market leaders from using their near monopolistic position to gatekeep other content.
Good, more countries should up the pressure, on every company possible.
Tele2 in Sweden was fined one million euros for using Google Analytics, Grindr has now lost its appeal and must pay almost six million for their data gathering and sharing, Valve is being dragged for geolocking content, and so on and so forth.
Be it sub-par privacy, abuse of monopolistic positions or anything else, it’s high time they all get held accountable for it.
Seems like a fairly useless feature (imo), if I am navigating to somewhere via driving, the weather is gonna be roughly the same as where I am now. For me it would just be clutter.
I love how every time I open it there’s a new update that forces me out of the app to the store, only to then reopen the app and have to download a few mb in the app too
Haha, oh wow! I slept like Snorlax last night! That’s a good thing because he sleeps a lot! Or it’s a bad thing because he snores…haha I love Snorlax! Yeah!
Are you actually Margot? If so, I read your post the other day and it made me go from “maybe I’ll see Barbie” to “all right I kinda wanna see this who can I convince to go with me”
Forgive my doubts but if you’re telling the truth, I’m surprised you haven’t let the world know you’re a bit of a nerd (not an insult) because it’s extremely endearing lol
