To me, the greatest proof of the "lack of love" Google is putting into Maps is seen when I zoom in the city I live in and I get a bunch of hotels.
Adding a "if user lives in $city then he probably won't stay in a hotel in $city" would have a positive impact in all Google Maps users, but the measurable impact is likely too small to make a difference in a Staff Engineer's Perf so it's deprioritised under another new set of check-in notifications.
- aww_dang 3y agoI still haven't figured out how to get Google maps to display hotel prices in USD or EUR. Even if I don't want to travel to that place, I don't mind a somewhat irrelevant result for a resort. Trying to hustle me into registering for that hotel with the localized currency of my current geotargetted location doesn't make sense. I don't bank in 3rd world units and the resort isn't in that location either. Totally irrelevant, but try changing that setting in under 15 minutes. I haven't found a way. I might have made an impulse buy. Instead I was annoyed by terrible UX.
