Vanaf 2027: "Als een gemeente bij Google aangeeft dat een weg open is, dan is het bedrijf verplicht die informatie over te nemen. Zelfs als bewoners het tegendeel beweren."

Für Städtenavigation benutzte ich mittlerweile des Öfteren #AppleMaps. Wenn man auf eine Station klickt, sieht man sogar die Abfahrtzeiten. Bei #GoogleMaps sieht man nicht mal die Liniennummern, ohne eine Station anzuklicken. Und eine OSM-App, welche mir zusagt, habe ich noch nicht gefunden.

■ El antes y después de Gaza: Google Maps actualiza sus imágenes y la diferencia es impactante ■ La organización Médicos Sin Fronteras ha compartido las imágenes de la devastación de todo tipo de infraestructuras y lugares, y las cifran que aporta son especialmente llamativas.

What is everyone using in lieu of google maps? I’m hoping for free, but also safe and secure and non-tracking…

• #MAGA decides it would be a great idea to block #Huawei from #Android
• Astonishingly, they don't immediately give up
• They invent #HarmonyOS instead
• It's extremely popular in #China
• They intend to roll it out #worldwide
• What will happen to #GoogleMaps ?

#Google #Maps may be under this Social Media ban.

This is what I grew up with. Actual navigation using maps on paper in a book.

No pin to identify where i am, no blue cone.
