"Google Maps might be an obnoxious app (it is!) but at least I can use it." You know, you're going to have to actually elaborate on that.

- mcphage 12y agoElaborate about which part—Google Maps app being obnoxious? The linked article makes a strong case for that—common actions are a number of slow steps, the information that people are actually looking for is missing or difficult to discern, etc. Or that I can use it? That's because I don't live in one of the 8 cities that Citymapper supports, whereas Google Maps works on, I dunno what % of the world, but I'm guessing it's pretty high.
- EpicEng 12y agoExcept it's really not designed for that. It's designed for people who know where they're going and how they're going to get there. I don't know, I get in my car, punch in an address, and GMaps does a pretty darn good job of finding a route. That's what 95% of us want.
