Google Maps as well. Very inaccurate at times.

Yeah but I'm on there taking a piss against my work van so I'm prepared to forgive it a lot.

Latitude and Longitude or it didn’t happen

Good effort, hope it's not identifying

[–] butterflyattack@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's identifying, and I feel no shame!

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Pics or it didn't happen, etc...

Google Maps is always dead on for me. I regularly drive very long distances across the US. The time estimates are within minutes of accurate even when there are sudden or extreme backups like in Los Angeles. There's plenty to criticize Google for, but it isn't Google maps for me.
