I’m counting the days until Porsche joins the Google graveyard

I don’t suppose this is optional.

No Porsche for me then. Not a new one anyway. That’s a deal breaker.

Return to buttons. This “infotainment” fad is seriously dangerous.

LEDZeppelin,

Wait until Porsche finds out who owns Android

cyborganism,

Ugh. Fuck Google. I wish there were more companies investing in open street maps just to make it the best map software out there. Then we wouldn’t have to rely on a corporation like Google that drops apps, services and features every year.

Not to mention all the tracking and privacy stuff.

Substance_P,

Not sure why you got all the down votes here, as an educated society, wouldn’t we want more competition and less monopoly as the world relies on this tech every day?

notenoughbutter,

maybe because android automotive and google maps are different

Substance_P,

I’m pretty sure Android Automotive uses Google Maps as its default navigation system.

evo,

Probably because wishing there were more alternatives to Google Maps has absolutely nothing to do with Porsche adopting Android Auto.

Phanatik,

As much as people like to crow on and on about having choices, they don't actually like making choices. It's been the same with Linux, there's so much you can configure and change that you have to be proactive with your choices. It's why people gravitate to Apple simple interface where every decision has been made for you and the answer to wanting to change how the system works is met with "go fuck yourself".

notenoughbutter,

look up overture maps

Microsoft, meta, and others are working together for that

Those are like the only people I would trust less.

it’s an open dataset though

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

Open source doesn’t mean they won’t spy on you.

Everything on the apps side could be peachy, but what the app requests from the server tells them everything they need to know.

eager_eagle,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

no - the dataset is open. You can self-host it and use it in your own app.

Moonrise2473,

You should have mentioned that’s a project from the Linux foundation, although Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and TomTom are controlling it
