today I wanted to use google maps to get bicycle navigation to a particular café.
Searching in google maps, it gave me the right café in the top, I obviously expected the address/location/navigation, but all I got was info on how many times google meant I had been there before, other users photos, phone number, menu, website.
They aggregated so much infotmation that the map option itself drowned.
If google continue this way with their other services, it is not just people who wish to degoogle who will look for alternatives, it will also be people looking for better functionallity.
In the end, those services that are not open may be aquired. But I do think nonprofits also have a chance. (wikipedia seem to have found a strong brand, and signal is also getting traction)
