    I work at 5 different locations. One single workplace address does not suffice.
    I used to be able to pin my work locations but Google took it away recently. DUMB!

    Try
    “electrify america stations with grocery store near it”
    …. CHAT-GPT gets me more useful results than Google maps for the query above

    3:18 Entrance for work Vs entrance for a client need to be different. If I work at a hospital, don’t want to be park my car at the ER entrance, right ? Gmaps need to get the basics right.

    Listen to feedback from users Google! I signed up as tester. You need to get the basics better, so stay grounded like that first. You are trying too hard to make it simple at the expense of usability to pro-users

    Why would I type these queries on GMaps instead of on the Search bar or some Gemini widget?

    • @Andres_Acosta

      October 31, 2024 at 7:03 pm

      Why not? You act like we can’t have both.

    What about the voices inside Google Maps? It’s ugly and robotic..

    First, make sure Gemini works everywhere in the world

  19. @anony88

    Android Auto users still can’t report objects on road, crashes, etc.. Maps for Android Auto could use some updates.

  20. @joelhooton2215

    October 31, 2024 at 6:18 pm

    How about the easiest route from point A to B? Instead of 11 left hand turns onto busy roads or uncontrolled intersections vs intersections with traffic lights.

  21. @brianbogholtz9485

    October 31, 2024 at 6:55 pm

    Can’t they just fix the current neglected products instead of developing “new” features that do the same things in a slightly different format?

  22. @web2yt488

    October 31, 2024 at 7:01 pm

    Is everyone who works at Google super annoying

  23. @EricK-vw5wh

    October 31, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    what’s a “baaaaaaaaar”

  24. @vinayprakash1687

    October 31, 2024 at 9:08 pm

    Feature I want:
    1. For a list of saved places, create a x-day itinerary.
    2. When I select the direction to a place in the saved places list, don’t remove the other saved places from the map. Very difficult to remember all the place names if I want to add multiple places.

Algorithms and AI don’t just show us reality — they warp it in ways that benefit platforms built to exploit people for profit, says etymologist Adam Aleksic. From ChatGPT influencing our word choices to Spotify turning a data cluster into a new musical genre, he reveals how new technology subconsciously shapes our language, trends and sense of identity. “These aren’t neutral tools,” he says, encouraging us to constantly ask ourselves: How am I being influenced?
