Goshdarnit Google, stop making better applications for competing platforms!

Probably one of the best "shake" gesture lead-ins I've ever seen. I wonder how many people it will get, when they're frustrated and shaking their phone to actually have a useful "Feedback" option pop up on their screen, completely intuitive to their frustration.

Nice play, Google, nice play.

Why not? This is just showing, that Google is helping other platforms with better maps, then for example apple maps

Its all about the money afterall. They conduct meetings behind closed doors--- talking money. They wouldn take our choice and what we want into consideration.

FINALLY I never have to use the shitty Apple Maps again.

I don't see how apple map can catch up now... It's the huge database of location and point of interest that makes google map so successful.
