Not to mention Google Maps gives you about 1/2" x 1/2" of actual map - the rest of your screen is full of other junk.

- Nicksil 5y ago>And two of the streets on the screen are named! Man, I thought I was going nuts. For a pretty long time now I've just been dumbfounded when no or seemingly arbitrary street names are rendered (usually when I zoom in; when it counts). This happens for all sorts of streets, regardless of their significance. It's slightly insane this still occurs.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoThat still occurs, and shows no signs of changing. It seems to be a purposeful decision. And this very aspect is what makes Google Maps not a proper map. It's optimized for point-to-point navigation, where you know the place you want to get to.
- us0r 5y agoAnd they don't give you the street name until your 3 miles or less. Its the dumbest thing ever. The numbers are so small on the actual exits and if your in HOV lane it doesn't say exit for exit # 118. It says exit for sunset blvd.
- aimor 5y agoMy favorite is during navigation when my current location is placed 3/4 of the way across the screen, that is 3/4 of the screen is used to display the route I've already driven.
