For the longest time I wished Google maps would understand that some destinations are extended objects, like, it doesn't matter which side of this area you enter because you're there once you get there. But it only knew about points.

Now they seem to have added extended targets, but they still only have one "point" that is the target, so no matter where in the target you're headed to ut always sends you to the same gate or entrance. Which is worse because now you can't override them.

@arianvp Just use a map, not a shopping guide.

@arianvp never really liked Google Maps. The try to do too much. Just show me a map of where I want to go.

@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net @arianvp@functional.cafe Unless that for-profit company is called Microsoft (bing maps) or Apple (apple maps) which both uses OSM data for their mapping apps. But it's a fair trade, given they actually sink lots of money in OSM as a way to counter the Google machine. Plus it's good to say "but actually the data is used in X and Y.

@arianvp Apple Maps has done this thing for a while where, if you set the default mode of transport to ‘walking’, over a certain distance (5km I think) it’ll ignore you and assume you want to drive.

I sort of understand the decision to ignore the default: it’s probably true that I’m not going to walk 10km for a random errand. (If I am going to walk that far it’s an intentional choice.) But you can’t configure the fallback. Even if somewhere is too far to conveniently walk, that doesn’t mean driving is an option.

You're one of these silly Europeans still believing in mother tongues, cultural diversity and windmill powerplants?

@arianvp I don't think DB Navigator is much better in that regard

@monoxane @jj @amyisard @arianvp @noodlemaz You don’t need real time. It’s not as if we have any real time data in Berlin for anything.

Also the algorithms by now are more than tractable and the volumes of data that you’re talking about quite modest.

@arianvp I find this so confusing because I have met plenty of people who work at Google and they’re from everywhere and loads of them speak two or more languages. Many of them are now directors or more senior, because they’ve been there for 10–20 years. Who the fuck is making these decisions?

We do in SG

Pretty sure that's what Citymapper uses anyway, either this or some other API (never dug around enough to check yet), but point is they are available here.

@arianvp I use the extension "YouTube Anti Translate" in Firefox to avoid such madness, and only use Youtube in the browser.
