I still use gmail and drive for work but otherwise I’m never logged into anything google at home. Today when I tried to expand on a restaurant’s hours it wouldn’t let me see them without logging in, although it still worked in incognito. This restaurant screenshot is just a random other example I tried, but for the one I was actually checking google had the correct hours while the official website hasn’t been updated in awhile and had the old ones (website said they’re still open for dinner but they’ve only been doing lunch for a year or so now)
The service is as good as the community who updates it. The more people using, the better it becomes. Be the change you want to see.
I don’t want to be the change to make it happen. I don’t want to be the beta tester of a product that’s supposed to be getting me around. What I want is I want a product that works I want something that functions when I need it to. When I go to an area that I am unfamiliar with and I’m using maps to try to find a house location a business whatever it is I don’t want to have to go in and beta test somebody else’s shit. That’s how Matt’s work.
Then stop whining about a community project and fucking buy a physical map.
Or, I just use Google maps. The point of my bitching is you can’t use open street maps, and expect it to actually be usable. So telling someone to use it, for 911 purposes it’s useless. Read the fucking thread jackass.
An ironic twist to the tragedy of the commons.
Separately, you should read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_Like_a_State and look at the context of why things are unfamiliar in the first place.
Well we also have to take solar flares and GPS satellites into account. Can only do so much on a terrestrial level.
Biggest issue I had, was my own address wasn’t accurate. Like didn’t exist. The one they showed at my house, was inaccurate. So if I can’t even map my own house, then if I go into a place I’m not familiar with…
