I dunno, I think Maps has gotten progressively worse in most ways over the past decade (with a particularly precipitous drop after whatever refactor they released in 2014 or so. Google maps is * Much, much slower * Harder to read/understand, especially street names * Much worse text parsing e.g. I can no longer loosely type something like "10th and grove to Jim's Hardware" and get directions. In fact most of the time I can't even type in a major intersection and have them understand * Obnoxiously spammy: they push new "features" on me all the time that I don't want to use (including a recent popup mid-directions when I turned on location tracking because I was lost on a busy, complicated highway intersection, which felt dangerous), and the phone version asks me to turn on location tracking EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN THE APP * Addresses seem to be getting replaced by some weird google maps-designed address format in Colombia (maybe other countries?) that are useless to humans Even if a little can be explained by a desire to control the world, I think most is just the traditional corporate rot that happens to any successful company.
