google's business is ads, monopoly ads, and all these side projects were good for distracting people from their monopoly. they don't care because they don't need to care and i wouldnt be surprised if all their services incl. gmail have the same fate. good thing that the market abhors a vacuum

Indeed. I greatly prefer Apple Maps on iOS. The directions barely take any longer and the UX is just so much better.


The new voice prompts on Apple Maps are great. “Turn right at the next stop sign” is way more helpful than “In 1000 feet, turn right”


If they combined them turn right next stop sign about a thousand feet. Otherwise it's like this stop sign here or do they mean that one..


They say things like turn left at the second light.
