I use Google Maps like a SMART atlas. Enter my destination and see what it comes up with. Then I investigate what Google came up with. If one of the roads on the route looks like a cardiogram, I look at other options. If the destination is in a tight area or city, Street View comes in real handy. Satellite view can let you know the "lay of the land" at the customer, such as where receiving is located, etc, etc. The real time traffic is "must have" in my book. It gives you the option to avoid problems before you get stuck in them. All this and more for $0!

If this is an issue for some folks................may I suggest not using a smartphone, tablet or laptop on the internet if protecting your privacy is a concern. Everything on the internet is tracked................everything!

You don't think it's strange that a phone is designed to influence behavior? Sorry, but that's some creepy China crap to me. Social credit sysion full effect but without the credit.

I thought about mentioning this but why bother? Some people just don't get how the modern world operates. The only way to not be tracked, have ads targeted towards you or hide in any way is to be totally and completely off grid. Even then you're not 100% hidden.

One can be hidden in plain view when they're anonymous.
