I don't trust the initiative much either. But I'll use it (and maybe contribute) if it improves my life without affecting my privacy or control of own devices.

Scripts like this empowering the end-user is why I consider the Android ecosystem superior.

Snapping photos of what? Creating maps out of photos? That would be expensive.

In my city in Romania, Apple Maps is missing a lot of locations.

Indeed. I couldn't believe Facebook bet so much on VR, and especially a low-quality 3D MMORPG full of micropayments. With no LEGS. How long have video game characters had legs?? I feel dizzy even playing Minecraft on a plain screen. I
