![]() ![]() ![]() I think that should cover the functionality of google maps. Often fun to see stats afterwards (max speed, avg speed, asc/descend, or sometimes it's practical to see the time it took). I configured it to automatically turn on when routing: then I have GPS on anyway and I might as well store the data. Trip recording ("location history" in google) can be done with OsmAnd or many other apps as well. (I don't really use sat imagery on mobile anyway.) Personally I use Bing Maps most frequently for this (not the app, just /maps) since it is a lot more smooth/lightweight than the awfully heavy google maps website. Satellite imagery is not exclusive to google maps either, there are lots of sources for this, and often also plane-shot imagery from your local government. Street view is not available where I live anyway, and Mapillary is doing reasonably. Mapbox does realtime traffic these days, can show this layer (I haven't found that button in mobile view though, might need to do a pull request), as well as your local traffic authority probably or some other local companies.īusiness info can be found through regular search engines, or if that is really difficult, then you can always fall back to google maps every once in a while. Apple Maps seems to be unavailable outside of iOS, not even through third-party apps or a website, as far as I know. Google Maps' map data can be replaced by Microsoft/Here/TomTom data, or OSM-based maps (OsmAnd, ). Someday I might even write up a piece on how I was shipped off to the Goolag (Google Seattle) because I insisted on having a team to keep our product's data up to date. Too many cool new features to build to worry about existing ones working. Does anyone actually care at Google? I doubt it. Two stars for the Chrome app that's required. Guess I'm not the only one with problems. And in the meantime, have you tried power cycling? Because, Google! (Cue cute xylophone music.) Instead, I get to +1 a report on their forums, where one of their "community experts" gleefully tells us not to worry, someone will probably fix it someday. The idea of getting anything resolved from "out here" is just comical. Fixing these problems doesn't advance anyone's career, so nobody is incentivized to care. It was hard enough getting someone to look at these insanely frustrating errors and problems when I was a SWE there and could pinpoint someone who could fix them. I keep a list of these little joys (on gdocs, ironically). I've had similar experiences with most of Google's services, including my phone nearly being bricked due to a cyclic error on Play Store. They always run through the same utterly useless script of suggestions, even when I make it painfully clear that I've already tried each of them multiple times.
