I still use gmail and drive for work but otherwise I’m never logged into anything google at home. Today when I tried to expand on a restaurant’s hours it wouldn’t let me see them without logging in, although it still worked in incognito. This restaurant screenshot is just a random other example I tried, but for the one I was actually checking google had the correct hours while the official website hasn’t been updated in awhile and had the old ones (website said they’re still open for dinner but they’ve only been doing lunch for a year or so now)
If the problem is a lack of suitable alternatives, that’s not the user’s fault. Google even snapped up Waze.
They need to use something. You suggesting they should just go make their own Google Maps?
and Waze is still Israeli spyware.
And owned by google to boot, no?
They don’t need to, since OpenStreetMap already exists.
They just need to do their part by contributing to it.
Why is it a map’s responsibility to list restaurant hours?
The OP even said the restaurant has their own website where they list their hours. I’m fine with leaving it at that, personally.
You’re not wrong, the map isn’t really the right place for that. Yet the map should provide a way to get from the physical location to more information about the place (physical building and logical business entity)
What’s the open equivalent of Yelp?
