Yeah I've started using Waze exclusively now, though there's decent FOSS options I've been meaning to try. Might as well hop the train early as I think they're owned by Google too.
@fossilesque @Infynis They are. Try Organic Maps! It's fairly nice. OsmAnd is great, too, but may be better for technical/power users.
"Continue straight for half a mile"
Oh shoot, I better get over, so I can exit easier in this traffic.
"Continue straight for 6 miles"
What the hell, Google!? I'm going straight on the same highway, that wasn't 2 different steps!!!
It's like they use segments for their roads and haven't figured out to connect the segments.
So, we should expect more ads and worse quality results then?
That was my immediate assumption of what they meant. A quick scan of the article suggests they didn't mean it as a negative, though. Seems pretty naive.
