Google Maps is just horrible on mobile when you aren't on Wifi. I'd like to wireshark it some day to figure out just how many different web requests it is making.
- avip 7y agoYou don't need wireshark - open dev console and observe that any map operation (drag/zoom/draw and anything else) requires an api request to gmaps. You can contrast that with mapbox which seems to have been designed upfront with offline mode in mind.
- lallysingh 7y agoGoogle probably wants the usage data, so they take additional load to handle more requests.
- rabidrat 7y agoOops! Then that's a terrible design.
