Why I dumped Google Maps and switched over to Bing
- jacksmith21006 9y agoNot sure how you could use Bing maps daily. I honestly doubt MS will stick with it and really feels like they already cut back investment needed. Even Apple struggles to be competitive. https://www.justinobeirne.com/google-maps-moat/ https://www.justinobeirne.com/google-maps-moat/ Google Maps's Moat - Justin O'Beirne
- fwgwgwgch 9y agoBing maps is an inbuilt service in Windows and if Microsoft has one principle it's to "not break apis and services"
- mmel 9y agoI don't need or use any of those things that Google has over the competition. And frankly, the majority of those features are well past what constitutes "mapping" in my opinion. Apple maps are accurate and up to date and their directions are mostly right. Bing maps are accurate and up to date and their directions are mostly right. From my own limited experience, OSM maps are more up to date than Google's in heavily populated areas.
- jazoom 9y agoI find Bing maps to be pretty good and easier to use when planning a complex trip.
- seshagiric 9y agoThere are a number of things in Bing Maps that really help travel planning and in general directions: a. For long road trips, "search along the route" lays out gas stations, restaurants, hotels and points-of-interest b. unlike Google, all locations searched get tabbed...you can easily switch between locations. Really helpful when exploring multiple locations
