Google maps also keeps on fucking up of the UI, or removing basic features like a simple fucking scale to estimate distance between two points.

CoMaps was launched after governance concerns emerged within the Organic Maps project. The creation of a new initiative was to have principles of transparency, open collaboration and community empowerment.
