@helvick Street View doesn't work on this - it drops you into the dual carriageway - but it looks like a steep set of steps from the satellite view

Flight of steps?

@helvick Hm! You may be right. But one of the serious defects of the #GoogleMaps experience is that you can't drop a 'person' onto the map on its suggested route and virtually experience what it's recommending for you

Impossible to see exactly what this route is doing by dropping the little yellow man on the Google mapThe Google Maps experience: a matter of faith and moralsIs Google Maps really suggesting that I cycle through a hedge along the dual carriageway, then cross the Luas lines, then loop over and proceed the wrong way along the entry to the M50?

🗺 Нещодавнє оновлення #GoogleMaps для #AndroidAuto дозволить користувачам використовувати функції навігації на будь-якому доступному в авто екрані. Раніше, Google Maps відображала навігаційні підказки лише на основному дисплеї та за допомогою голосових підказок, однак з останнім оновленням, вони з'являться і на головній панелі приладів. Така функція зокрема вже доступна на Polestar 2.

Die Meldungen über die angeblichen Sperrungen auf in/um Frankfurt/Main finde ich bezeichnend was unsere „Nachrichten“ betrifft
hessenschau.de/panorama/rund-u

Offenbar erinnert sich keiner mehr an die Aktion von @dlvr , der im Februar 2020 mit einem Bollerwagen voll Smartphones Staumeldungen in Berlin erzeugte: deutschlandfunkkultur.de/kunst

Von den Redaktionen erwarte ich mehr als eine Anfrage bei Google und kurzer Check bei anderen Anbietern (Bing Maps, TomTom)

Austin Z. Henley, esteemed academic, has just discovered that translating latitude and longitude into actual places is a thing 😱—it's called reverse geocoding! Turns out, turning numbers into names is harder than just asking Google Maps 📍. Congratulations on reinventing the wheel, Professor! 🚀

I guess we could keep posting a picture to @PressSec @WhiteHouse, @Potus on all social media platforms until they leave legacy media alone & change it back to

#NSAbook is worse than #GoogleMaps!

  • Also getting a static website made with these things costs like €500 at most and maybe €10 p.m. for upkeep at grossly inflates rates.

People don't want much so even a WordPress-style CMS is overkill.

  • But even a SquareSpace/Wix/whatever... site is better than #StasiBook!

Gli utenti di Google Maps su iOS noteranno un cambiamento: il logo classico è ora sostituito da "Google Maps" in bianco o nero, a seconda del tema. Questo aggiornamento riflette lo stile di altri prodotti Google 🌍📱 #GoogleMaps #iOS #TechNews

Oupsie... Google Maps sème la zizanie sur les autoroutes allemandes en plein week-end prolongé

numerama.com/tech/1981303-goog

"Google Maps a signalé la fermeture de nombreuses autoroutes allemandes. Sauf que ces « Autobahn » n’étaient pas du tout fermées. (...) Beaucoup d’automobilistes se sont tournés vers d’autres routes, pas du tout adaptées pour accueillir un tel trafic"

Engadget: Google Maps falsely told drivers in Germany that roads across the country were closed . “As reported by a locally based journalist for The Guardian, drivers opening Google’s navigation app would see a swarm of red dots used to indicate no-go areas, which resulted in people looking for alternative routes that caused traffic pile-ups nationwide. The Guardian also reported that […]

Fantastische #UserExperience bei #GoogleMaps

1. Ziel suchen
2. Startzeit und -Datum eingeben
3. Zwischenstopps eingeben
4. Tankstellen an der Strecke suchen
4a. Im Suchfeld "Tankestelle" auf den Vorschlag "Tankstelle DVK verbund" ändern, wegen Tankkarte
5. Von vorn beginnen, weil durch Schritt 4a. die Routenplanung komplett verworfen wurde.

Seeing lots of talk these days about Google Maps being fucked, was it such a good idea to leave so much of the World's traffic infrastructure in the hands of American Oligarchs?

This is why we're never having 'flying cars', not with Capitalism.
