Perhaps you aren't familiar with the fate of nearly every other acquisition Google has made.

- breck 6y agoYeah, it could go poorly. But there's also Google Maps and YouTube. (Although both seem to be getting worse nowadays :( )
- xerox13ster 6y agoThe other day I tried like 10 times on mobile and web (and in incognito) to get Maps to show me a map of where all the Weinerschnitzel locations were in the US (you'd think Google MAPS could do that right), and no matter how far I zoomed out on any device, if I hit enter on the search or hit "Search this area" it zoomed me back in on my region and said 'oh right there'. NO GOOGLE that's not what I wanted at any point...thanks for assuming you know what information I want, again, even in incognito. "directions to work campus" always sends me over a toll bridge when I have no tolls selected as my default! Maps, as far as I'm concerned, is a dead product already. It won't show me the closest local places at times, or refuses to show me other locations. It editorializes my searches, and gives me bad directions. I quite honestly cannot wait for a better alternative in an app. I wish HERE Maps had survived the Nokia acquisition. MapQuest got my back though. :)
