The #Enshitification of Google maps 🤨

Not going back to Google Maps after I tried this

“I've been using Google Maps for years, but I was tired of the distractions.

#Google Maps has so many ads and pins, with labels galore and a map so detailed with points of interest that it's distracting to the point of sometimes being overwhelming”

Text Shot: In recent years, Google Maps has been less about the actual map part and more about data and points of interest, which also happens to make it easier for Google to show you targeted ads based on all the data it collects around where you've been and what you're searching for. I found a better solution that has many of the same benefits as Google Maps, but is built to be driving-focused with less distraction and a user interface designed around clarity, which is perfect for driving.
