Maps drive me fucking nuts, taking over zoom. As do nearly every other app that does it. They think they know what's good for me, and they don't, and it leads to me using them less. Yes, paper maps just work better for me a lot of the time.
The only thing maps.app or Google maps are good for are finding places to spend money or driving to places to spend money. If you have any other spatial interests, they're almost pointless.
I would happily run a build that removes this capability.
- paulddraper 3y agoI would love to see your maps app that doesn't touch zoom.

- aendruk 3y agoWith progressive decoding and spatial range requests this could actually be a reasonable replacement for a slippy map.
- paulddraper 3y agoI'll use it on my drive home.
- mkl 3y agoThat supports touch zoom just fine, it just has a low limit to how far in it goes.
