- rightbyte 4y agoNo way you would be allowed to do "grassroot" obvious for any actual user usability improvements on Maps. Dunno what gatekeeper they have exactly but you can smell him from afar.
- robocat 4y agoAnd as you reach the highest zoom level on mobile apps, increase the font size of the street names etcetera. Keeping font sizes tiny at high zoom levels is a real anti-pattern against usability for older people. I wonder if they test maps being used by anyone over the age of 60? Testing a UI on older people (or any group out on the edges) really shows up usability and accessibility flaws.
