@notjustbikes The biggest reason, knowing how the juice is made in digital cartography, is that Google Maps is only minimum viable map proof of concept for motorists and transit users, and a complete afterthought for pedestrians and cyclists. Compound this with their data and business model being very oriented to be a Yellow Pages nearly exclusively, it's basically false advertising to call that product a map and foolish to use it for nav.

Especially when @openstreetmap exists.
