I had downloaded OsmAnd but forgot about it. After reading this post, I fired it up. It took a minute to download a map for my area. It returned a map of Kansas. I'm in Texas π€ I guess I gotta fix that somehow.

Did you allow it to access your location? Is your location already fixed? Are you behind a proxy or VPN server?
Thats a test destined to fail
As far I knew it was already a thing, kind of. They know what you search for and route you near those things⦠and make sure the businesses show up on the map.
Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.
They used to have a reputation for employing smart people... Dumbass middle managers took over a while back and started making the stupidest decisions.
That's what happens when MBAs start to weasel their way into any business.
Heard someone assert that MBA's have ruined the world. Seemed a hyperbolic statement at the time. Though casting my eyes around an ever more enpoopified landscape, it's tough to disagree.
MBA are stupid people who think they're intelligent. I have my M.S. in CS earned summa cum laude and some of these business idiots think their grad degree was even remotely as difficult as mine.
PSA: Apple Maps used to suck badly but now it's way better than Google Maps.
LOL
For some reason, this got me imagining an ad causing an unnecessary detour the wrong way on a one way road and cause a head-on collision. which is going to get them hit with a class action lawsuit that could send their line graph all the way down into the ground.
