Kagi is pretty good but wow is kagi maps hot trash. I now have the muscle memory of adding !gm to every search string that I might want to go to a map.
I think probably Kagi should just make this the default - doing good maps is a hard problem, and I dont think its one that is solvable on Kagi's scale.
- everfrustrated 1y agoAs a paying user it's frustrating how bad Kagi maps are given they're (presumably) paying Mapbox $ for it. Most of the time the search function doesn't work and I've been disappointed enough that I default to Google Maps for anything maps related.
- Marsymars 1y agoIn my experience it's the POI data that's really tough. (As opposed to roads/addresses.) Locally, Google Maps has enough market share that every business ensures that their info on Google Maps is correct. Even Apple Maps hasn't been able to scale to compete.
- damian_at_kagi 1y agoMaps dev here. Would appreciate a bit more feedback at https://kagifeedback.org/t/maps https://kagifeedback.org/t/maps We have new maps UI and working on improving search API accuracy so would love some feedback where we are currently falling short to guide our roadmap.
- idiotsecant 1y agoThe problems that need solving are not problems you can develop your way out of, unfortunately. Just about every single little restaurant, shop, museum, etc wants to populate their information into google maps and keep it current. Kagi doesn't have that. They need to somehow get all the same data that is in google maps and put it into Kagi maps. It's impossible.
