There was nothing in the article implying in any way that the Google Maps team is "dumb".
The article is about a real usability issue that exists in Google Maps--a product released over 5 years ago and that has long been out of beta.
- darshan 17y agoThis isn't really a problem, though. All you have to do is zoom in, and the ambiguity resolves itself. The post (not exactly an "article") comes off as a silly complaint that Google Maps isn't completely perfect, without seeming to understand that something as complex as this can't be perfect. There are always going to be trade-offs, and the label locations Google Map's algorithm chose seem perfectly reasonable to me for the zoom-levels displayed.
