I use Komoot for wild walking and biking, and it's incredible. Hugely more accurate and reliable. Just wondering if there's something like that for city and intercity travel. Thanks for suggestions!

I have also noticed Google maps keeps getting worse....why

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

I suspect it's probably the prelude to "Subscribe to Maps Pro for more accurate directions!!!!"

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

is there any Google product that is not getting worse though?

I would say Android is doing great ngl. As long as you have a clean rom and not some samsung shit over it or whatever

In some way, yes. Personally I like the Material You design, but it became worse in other areas tho. Google slowly pulls a bunch of functionality out of the AOSP codebase, which is a total L move.

Ui is pretty good, bloatware is pretty bad. Not obtrusive exactly, but invasive and not useful.

I hear people saying this but they never say why. I use it to navigate almost every day and the directions are always accurate. It will also warn me about speed traps and route me around traffic. It tells me if a business will be closed when I arrive. It tells me when a business is the most busy.

The only thing I don't like is the new colors but that's nitpicking.

To me this "Google Maps keeps getting worse" has the distinct whiff of "Onyxia deep breathes more" after every patch.
