Seems to be a good sign for the German users of Google Maps. Now when looking at a places reviews you can see just how many were flagged by the business owner or their authorized representative. submitted by /u/TotallySavageSzym to r/germany [link] [comments]

Spent about two hours this weekend going through every Google Maps setting, every linked Google Account control, every permission screen. I wanted to know exactly what I'd agreed to by using the app. What I found wasn't surprising, but seeing it laid out all at once was still unsettling.Here's what most people don't know. The "Location History" toggle is a decoy. This is the one setting everyone tells you to turn off. So I turned it off. Felt good about it. Then I kept reading. Buried in the confirmation pop-up, in smaller text, Google tells you: "location data may be saved as part of your activity on other Google services, like Search and Maps." Turning off Location History only stops Google from updating your Timeline. It does not stop Google from collecting your location. There's a separate setting, Web & App Activity, that keeps logging where you are. I only found out because I kept reading the fine print after clicking the toggle. And it's not theoretical. After turning Location History off, Google Maps prompted me to rate a store I'd walked past, without me ever opening Maps or searching for that store. The app knew I was there. Through the other setting. The one I hadn't touched yet. So you turned off the visible setting, and Google kept tracking you. Through a different setting. That you didn't know existed. Web & App Activity: the setting that does the actual tracking, hidden in plain sight. This one covers your searches and activity across Google Search, Maps, Photos, News, YouTube, and Chrome. It stores location data. It can save activity even when you're offline or signed out. It's on by default. Here's the thing that got me: the description of Web & App Activity doesn't mention location tracking at all. And the description of Location History doesn't tell you that turning it off won't stop location tracking. You'd only know the full picture if you read both settings back to back and connected the dots yourself. The setting that actually tracks your location doesn't say "location." The setting called "Location History" doesn't stop location tracking. Everything is named to confuse you. Wi-Fi Scanning: the one that keeps turning itself back on. Settings > Location > Wi-Fi scanning. Turn it off. Come back tomorrow. It's on again. I've tested this multiple times. Any app that uses Google's location APIs seems to quietly re-enable it. Navigation on Google Maps stopped working for me without it, the app effectively held routing hostage until I turned it back on. And it's not just Maps: other apps that have nothing to do with navigation were also triggering the same behavior. You turn it off. Something turns it back on. You're never quite sure when it happened. Incognito mode in Maps doesn't do what you think I assumed Incognito in Maps was like Incognito in Chrome, a reasonable privacy mode. It's not. Google's own documentation says it plainly: Incognito mode in Maps doesn't affect how your activity is used or saved by your internet provider, other apps, voice search, or other Google services. Your ISP still sees your traffic. Your other Google apps still log your location. You just stop getting notifications and your searches don't save to your Maps history. That's it. It's a privacy theater feature. What actually can't be turned off while using a Google account: Location inference via IP address on every search, regardless of your settings Basic travel data (routes, destinations, transport mode, visit frequency) collected through normal app use Emergency location services, which bypass your settings at the system level. Reasonable in principle, but it means there's no true off switch. What you can actually do (ranked by impact): Turn off both Location History and Web & App Activity, not just one Disable Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning in system settings, not just Maps Set location permission to "only while using," never "always" Use Incognito for sensitive searches, knowing it's partial, not complete Switch to Apple Maps or OsmAnd. Not perfect, but neither is funded by profiling you. The thing that got me wasn't that Google collects data. I assumed that going in. It was the architecture of confusion: settings named to sound like they do more than they do, fine print buried after you've already clicked confirm, defaults that are all on, and controls split across three different menus so that fixing one thing doesn't fix the thing. None of this is accidental design. Has anyone found settings I missed? Curious if there's anything that actually works short of rooting. submitted by /u/willzhong to r/privacy [link] [comments]

I have a pixel 8(running GrapheneOS) and for day to day life its amazing. But I have one big issue, there is no good alternative of Google Maps. I am a frequent traveler and due to which I need Google maps for navigation in the new places to figure out public transportation and how to reach somewhere I never went before. Currently my go to is Google maps😢 that also giving me issues as it seems that its not fully compatible with this OS. Problem - Every time I open maps it cannot find my location(forget about precise location) at all. Thank fully this time I am with my fiance and her phone help us in that. I know I can download city specific public transport app. But the issue is 1. They are not reliable. 2. Even if they work I cannot tell where I am to put the start location as I am new to the place. 3. Auroa store doesn't have the needed app. 4. Worst case that the specific place doesn't have one. Can somebody please please 🙏 suggest me a solution to this ? I am really enjoying Graphane OS so far and don't want to switch back to the Android(google) but this issue is a deal breaker for me 😢 submitted by /u/sgtBONY to r/GrapheneOS [link] [comments]

ive replaced gmail (proton), calendar (tuta), drive (nextcloud), photos (immich), even chrome. but maps? i cant do it and ive tried. osmand is great if you want to feel like youre navigating in 2007. organic maps is better but the search is painful -- try finding a specific restaurant and it gives you one 400 miles away. apple maps has improved but im on android so thats out. the thing that kills me is its not just navigation. its the reviews, the live traffic, the street view, the saved places, the timeline history. google maps is like 6 different products pretending to be one app and every alternative only replaces one of those. ive basically accepted that this is the last google product ill ever use. the convenience gap is just too massive. anyone actually fully replaced it or are we all just pretending this one doesnt count submitted by /u/edmillss to r/degoogle [link] [comments]

Seriously, almost every person that I know that has an iPhone mainly uses Google Maps. Everytime I try to use Google Maps for anything its worse than just using Apple Maps. submitted by /u/Louisthemagic to r/ios [link] [comments]
