Honestly I _hate_ Google Maps, but it seems like the best thing available. I wish they'd spend less time on building outlines and more time on making the UI not totally suck. Someone should make a maps startup that isn't awful (note: these examples are from the web app, which I prefer, because the mobile app is infuriating to use except for driving directions) For example if I google an address and click the link to Maps, there's no street view button. If I search for "food", the "current location" button disappears...so I have to manually scroll to wherever I am. If I search for a store or whatever in Google and then click the map, there's no current location OR street view! Typing "{whatever} near {address}" works whenever it feels like working. Half the time I get a random address on {whatever} street. The goddamn search overlay takes up about 3/4 of the screen if you accidentally click on something (and they make sure you do). On to the app: The audio driving directions have gotten better...so I give them credit there. I never drive with the display on, so audio directions are crucial. If I'm walking around somewhere and I search for restaurants that's fine..but if I make the mistake of clicking on a restaurant I get a full-screen view of reviews and shit. The map totally disappears! I'm just trying to focus the goddamn thing so I can see where it is!
