    Yet they took out a driving feature over 10 years ago where you could see the actual roads you were on for directions, so how does this help the majority of people?

      They are more concerned about being inclusive

      Wtf you talking about?, my little farm town in Mexico of population of under 80 people has street view.

    • @AB-wf8ek

      February 13, 2024 at 10:56 am

      Latin America is a pretty broad term. I’m pretty sure they don’t cover the rainforest.

    • @whatamistilldoinghere

      February 13, 2024 at 1:06 pm

      @JuaniPodrido my bad, I changed it to “most of South America”. You can check Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Perú and Suriname on the maps and tell me what you see. Not sure about Chile, Argentina, Brasil
