    I’m an Apple user, for the most part, and I’ve noticed lately that in the last 6-12 months Google Maps has deteriorated significantly for me while Apple Maps has gotten better and better. Even things you’d think would be similar, e.g. satellite imagery, for my area Google’s imagery is now a half-decade out of date while Apple’s is current.

    It really does feel like most of Google’s consumer-facing products are languishing.

      Google Maps has gotten worse and worse.

      It’s now actively bloating a map with random businesses, making it difficult to use. And worse, it’s obscuring random businesses from search. I noticed it a while back if I googled “Chinese food”, a few places aren’t showing unless I zoom in really really close. And these are places with 100+ reviews.

        Yeah it’s started inserting “totally not advertisements” like “take a left in 300 feet, past the McDonald’s”. More enshittification.
